Information Technology is one of the sectors that has come into the limelight due to its recent good performance in the stock market. The sector saw a comeback late last year. But later the leading companies in the IT sector could not continue to perform well. As a result, the sector lost importance as an investment option among investors. A rebound in the IT sector is likely to be noticeable right now. As a result, a large number of investors are once again looking for opportunities to invest their money in this sector. But, is this sector really ripe for investment now?

How is the future for the IT sector? Is the situation becoming more complicated?

The sector has gone through a major infrastructural change since the Covid era. The sector is indeed going through a transformation with artificial intelligence technology. However, the sector is still in a positive position. A number of stocks in the sector may witness very good performance in the coming days. IT is generally regarded as a capex sector and when interest rates rise, capex slows down. It is expected that when the first rate cut is around the corner, the increase in demand should start to be noticeable. Perhaps investors have started thinking about increasing or reducing investments in stocks with underweight positions in the sector in anticipation of that move. This is already noticeable.

Will it still take time for strong growth in this sector?

The performance of India’s IT sector is highly dependent on the US economy. While the economy was in a strong position last year, spending in the IT sector was not as noticeable. It probably isn’t heading into a recession that way. We are likely to see a sharp rise in consumption. However,  we will have to wait till the next calendar year to see good growth in this sector. However, between the current and next financial year, IT sector will see double digit growth again in large caps. According to that view, this is clearly a good time to invest in the IT sector.
