India ke IT sector ke undisputed leaders, Infosys aur TCS, ab Nifty IT index se peeche chal rahe hain. Yeh unke pehle ke prabhav se bada badlav hai. Mid-cap companies jaise Persistent Systems aur Coforge behtar performance dikha rahi hain, sector index December 2024 mein peak hone ke baad. Price-to-Earnings (PE) ratios mein ek striking difference dikh raha hai. Infosys ka PE 43.5% (2021 mein 39x se 2025 mein 22x) aur TCS ka 45% (40x se 22x) kam hua. Iske vipreet, Persistent Systems jaise mid-cap ka valuation 60x par bana raha. Coforge mein 11.7% (68x se 50x) ki kami aayi. Isse lagta hai ki market ab mid-cap IT firms mein zyada growth prospects dekh raha hai, jabki bade leaders ko pehle ki tulna mein kam value de raha hai. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) lagbhag sabhi IT names mein apni holdings kam kar rahe hain, siwaye Persistent aur Coforge jaise mid-caps ke, jahan holdings stable rahi ya badhi. Iske ulta, Domestic institutional investors (DIIs) ne apni positions maintain ki hain ya badhai hain. DIIs ne FIIs se hui significant selling ko absorb kiya hai, IT sector ko ek defensive play banate hue jo domestic buying, high dividend payouts, aur stock buybacks se support hota hai. Mid-cap space mein Coforge ek outlier hai. FII aur DII holdings Hulst BV dwara bade stake sale ke baad lagbhag 90% ho gayi hai. Ownership ka yeh concentration, ek naye fund-raising announcement ke saath, stock par pressure bana raha hai. Potential dilution, kam cash conversion guidance, aur pehle ke high valuation ke karan aayi sky-high expectations se jude risks ne ek precarious technical setup banaya hai. Charts ek potential distribution pattern, ek broken support trendline, aur bearish oscillators dikha rahe hain, jisse 22 January ko aane wale iske results holders ke liye critical hain.
