Shares of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys, Wipro, Persistent Systems, Zensar Technologies and Birlasoft, among others, gained up to 7 per cent in Thursday's trade, in line with a rally in global technology stocks on easing US inflation. Technology stocks are deemed sensitive to higher interest rates. Domestic investors also took heart from TCS' upbeat order flows in the June quarter, even as the IT firm gave no hint of recovery in the second half (H2) of the ongoing financial year. HCL Technologies Q1 results disappointed the Street. Yet the stock was trading marginally higher.

At home, the key positive for the quarter was TCS' big beat on order inflow of $10 billion without even taking the BSNL deal into consideration. But TCS remains cautious about near-term demand amid adverse macros, while it is quite optimistic about the secular long-term trend.

Meanwhile, many aalyst feel HCL Tech's FY24 guidance is at rik. HCL Technologies Limited (HCL Tech) Q1 results surprised negatively, across-the-board. Be it sequential constant currency (CC) revenue growth, profitability or margin front, the HCL Tech earnings missed the Street estimates. Though the IT major maintained its full year guidance, a steep ask rate and an uncertain environment make it look a bit optimistic, analysts said.

Meanwhile, Wipro will announce its quarterly results today. This stock was up 1.58 per cent at Rs 397.80.
