* Nifty IT index dropped 1%, extending a 7% decline over two sessions.
* AI competition concerns after Anthropic's legal AI tool launch hit IT stocks
* Jefferies warns AI could erode IT firms' application services revenue

IT stocks fell for a second day as Anthropic’s new AI legal tool raised fears of increased competition and disruption. The Nifty IT index dropped nearly 1%, with major firms like Infosys and HCL Technologies declining, and analysts warn of more pain ahead.

* Nifty IT index dropped 1%, extending a 7% decline over two sessions.
* AI competition concerns after Anthropic's legal AI tool launch hit IT stocks
* Jefferies warns AI could erode IT firms' application services revenue

The shares of IT companies extended decline for the second consecutive session on February 5 amid concerns that artificial intelligence can intensify competition after Anthropic's launch of a legal AI tool.

The <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/indian-indices/nifty-it-19.html">Nifty IT index</a> fell nearly 1 percent to 36,071.80, as seen at 1.04 pm on Thursday. The index has now fallen around 7 percent in just two sessions, recording biggest single-day fall for the index since March 2020 yesterday.
<h3><strong>IT stocks fall further:</strong></h3>
The IT stocks which declined up to 8 percent on February 4, declined up to 2 percent today so far, extending losses. Mphasis shares fell 2 percent, while heavyweight <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/india/stockpricequote/computers-software/infosys/IT">Infosys</a> and <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/india/stockpricequote/computers-software/hcltechnologies/HCL02">HCL Technologies</a> shares fell more than 1 percent each.

Coforge and <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/india/stockpricequote/computers-software/persistentsystems/PS15">Persistent Systems</a> shares fell nearly 1 percent each, while <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/india/stockpricequote/computers-software/wipro/W">Wipro</a>, Tech Mahindra, LTIMindtree and Tata Consultancy Services (<a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/india/stockpricequote/computers-software/tataconsultancyservices/TCS">TCS</a>) shares were trading in the red with marginal losses.
<h3><strong>Why are IT stocks falling today?</strong></h3>
Investors remained concerned that AI was creating more competition for software makers, after Anthropic’s launch of a legal tool for its Claude AI chatbot.

AI developer Anthropic launched plug-ins for its Claude Cowork agent last week that can automate tasks across legal, sales, marketing and data analysis. The move has triggered worries of an impending AI-fueled disruption of the data and professional services industry, which were once seen as major beneficiaries of the AI era, according to traders and analysts.
<h3><strong>What lies ahead?</strong></h3>
Jefferies in its latest note explained that Anthropic’s Cowork plug-ins highlight how AI could erode application services revenue, which accounts for 40–70 percent of IT firms’ topline. The international brokerage added that it sees "more pain ahead" for sector.

IT services firms face mounting growth pressure as AI threatens to chip away at core application service lines, Jefferies said, adding that AI will drag on IT firms' revenue growth over the next 1–2 years as deflation in legacy service revenues outweighs emerging AI-led opportunities.

“Anthropic launched new capabilities for its Cowork to the legal space, heightening competition,” Morgan Stanley analysts including Toni Kaplan wrote in a note on Thomson Reuters, as reported by Bloomberg. “We view this as a sign of intensifying competition, and thus a potential negative," they said.

“We're looking at a lot of software names that are seen as companies that may well be disrupted when we start to see the advancement of artificial intelligence. We're seeing a lot of software companies across the spectrum get hit,” Reuters quoted Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B. Riley Wealth, as saying.

Anthropic’s launch of advanced AI automation tools, which heightened concerns about potential disruption to traditional software and IT services models, prompted investors to reassess the extent to which generative AI could automate core outsourcing and software functions, triggering broad-based selling across global tech stocks and the Nifty IT index, said Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking.

"While the sector’s fundamentals remain intact, near-term sentiment is likely to stay volatile as markets gauge the impact on demand and margins. Investors may be better off avoiding aggressive positions until clearer signs of stability emerge," he added.
