Stock slides 34% YTD, underperforms Nifty
TCS shares have declined about 34% so far this year, falling from ₹3,215 apiece to ₹2,127. The decline has wiped out approximately ₹3.61 lakh crore in market value, reducing the company’s market capitalisation to around ₹8 lakh crore.
The stock has significantly underperformed the benchmark Nifty 50, which has declined about 8% during the same period.
Sentiment around the IT services major has been weighed down by rapid developments in artificial intelligence, including the launch of new AI models and tools by companies such as Meta Platforms and Anthropic. Investors remain concerned about the potential long-term impact of AI on traditional IT services business models.
In addition, Accenture’s weak guidance further intensified the sell-off across the sector, dragging several technology stocks to their 52-week lows. As a result, the Nifty IT index has fallen 27% so far in 2026, making it the worst-performing sectoral index this year.
