Accenture’s broader IT spending beyond AI
Pointing towards the key trigger for the Indian IT majors, Seema Srivastava, Senior Research Analyst at SMC Global Securities, said, “Accenture expects revenue growth across both consulting and managed services in FY2027. Its guidance assumes stable to slightly improving discretionary spending at the upper end, while allowing for weaker spending at the lower end.”
The SMC Global Securities expert said the Indian market estimates that AI cloud may create new opportunities for the Indian IT majors like TCS, Wipro, Infosys, HCL Tech, etc., and attributed three major reasons for the spike in the Indian IT stocks: Accenture’s strong Q4FY26 results, AI could creating new opportunities for the services-oriented IT companies, and better-than-expected Q2 results 2026 by the Indian IT companies.
