Sector Spotlight: IT may lead market reversal, limited downside now, says this analyst; stocks to buy are TCS, Infosys, HCL Tech

Sector Spotlight: Having witnessed significant correction since the announcement of March quarter results, top IT sector stocks are now exposed to limited downside, opines Technical Analyst Nilesh Jain. He recommended three large cap stocks to investors arguing that in an otherwise situation of stock market gloom, IT stocks could lead the revival.

He puts his bet on HCL Technologies Limited, Tata Consultancy Services Limited and Infosys Limited.

Jain also calls a weaker Indian Rupee against the US Dollar, a blessing in disguise for IT companies and sees a robust Dollar revenue for these large cap IT companies.

This in turn will likely help the stock price taking an upward trajectory, Jain said.

Jain is Assistant Vice President (AVP), Equity Research Technical and Derivatives at Centrum Broking.
