After strong closing on Friday weekend trade session at both Indian and US indices, bulls are expected to come strongly when the stock market opens on Monday. So, market experts have recommended retail investors to look at IT stocks as these shares are expected to remain the bull’s favorite for the next one to two years. They said that if someone is looking forward to adding some stocks to its portfolio today, then they can look at TCS, Wipro, and Tech Mahindra shares and maximize their gains in long term.
Speaking on why one should buy IT stocks Tirthankar Das, Head of Technical Research at Ashika Stock Broking said, “Nifty IT index is moving in a strong uptrend making the higher top and higher bottom formation after breaching its earlier high and trading above breakout level of the rising channel on the monthly chart. It is now around its all-time high with the RSI oscillator also showing strength on both weekly and monthly scales, which certainly bodes well for the bulls. IT space continues to outperform with most of the stocks placed at their 52 weeks high with weekly 14 periods RSI in an uptrend and is seen rebounding taking support from its average thus validates positive bias”.
Highlighting the fundamentals supporting IT stocks in upcoming trade sessions Jitesh Ranawat Head Institutional Sales at Marwadi Shares and Finance said, “IT sector has been the bellwether of the Indian stock markets and has performed really well in the past one year on the back of digitization. This has resulted in strong deal momentum and large deal bookings for large IT players. Positive commentary by the players in terms of margin and CC (constant currency) growth led to PE expansion of all the companies and right now most of them are trading at valuations that are above the 10-year historical averages showcasing higher growth expectations. Also since the sector is cash-rich we would recommend looking to buy them on dips as the outlook for the next 2 years looks good on the back of stronger growth supported by large deal wins”.
