The broader markets on Monday declined sharply, with mid- and small-cap indices falling up to 4 percent, in line with losses in benchmark indices amid escalating tensions in the West Asia region.

The Nifty Smallcap 100 and Nifty Midcap 100 indices snapped their previous session gains and came under heavy selling pressure as the conflict in West Asia entered its fourth week, pushing crude oil prices higher.

The Nifty Smallcap 100 index dropped 4 percent and hit over a six-month low of 14,986 points. Shares of Brainbees Solutions plunged 12 percent, emerging as the worst performer, while Bandhan Bank declined more than 7 percent, weighing on the index.

The Nifty Midcap 100 index fell more than 3.5 percent to a six-month low of 52,573.55. Steel Authority of India shares dropped 7 percent, acting as a major drag. Shares of Muthoot Finance declined nearly 8 percent, adding to the weakness in the broader market. The fall came amid a sharp decline in gold prices as the ongoing military tensions in West Asia raised concerns over inflation. Rising inflation risks have increased expectations of interest rate hikes by central banks.

Meanwhile, benchmark indices remained under pressure. The Sensex fell 1,904.61 points or 2.5 percent to 72,628.35, while the Nifty declined 610.35 points or 2.6 percent to 22,504.15, its lowest level since April 9, 2025.

The volatility index rose 17 percent to 26.66, its highest level since early June 2024, indicating heightened uncertainty and risk aversion among investors.

UBS sees Persistent Systems, Infosys, HCLTech better positioned, AI disruption may prolong IT sector de-rating, says UBS report, Recovery depends on business model transformation evidence

* UBS sees Persistent Systems, Infosys, HCLTech better positioned
* AI disruption may prolong IT sector de-rating, says UBS report
* Recovery depends on business model transformation evidence

UBS sees Infosys, HCLTech, and Persistent Systems better positioned amid IT sector de-rating, citing strong risk-reward. AI disruption may prolong valuation declines. Selectivity is key as companies adapt, with mid-caps and Infosys standing out.

shorts/business/ubs-cuts-it-valuations-sees-infosys-hcltech-persistent-as-top-picks

Shares of Indian IT services companies, including Infosys Ltd, HCL Tech Ltd, and Persistent Systems Ltd, may be better positioned amid an ongoing sector-wide de-rating, as investors shift focus from near-term demand recovery to long-term business model sustainability, according to a UBS report.

The brokerage has a more constructive view on Persistent Systems, Infosys, and HCL Tech, citing better risk-reward profiles. It upgraded Tech Mahindra Ltd to Neutral from Sell, reflecting recent valuation correction and improving margins, while downgrading Mphasis Ltd to Neutral from Buy as the expected turnaround has yet to materialise. UBS also initiated coverage on Coforge Ltd with a Neutral rating.

The brokerage said valuations across the sector have already declined 20-25 percent so far this year, but the de-rating phase may continue until there is clearer evidence of how companies adapt to artificial intelligence-led disruption. The debate has moved beyond demanding stability to whether AI-driven productivity gains will create new revenue streams or lead to pricing pressure and revenue deflation.

UBS introduced a new “VECTOR” framework to track how companies are responding to structural changes, covering Verticals, Employees, Contracts, Technology, Offerings, Regions and Revenue per Employee. Based on this, the report said mid-cap companies appear better positioned, with Persistent Systems and LTIMindtree Ltd leading, while Infosys stands out among large-cap peers.

The brokerage outlined a wide range of potential outcomes, drawing parallels with past technology disruptions. During the cloud transition between 2010 and 2019, incumbents saw about a 20 percent de-rating over two years before recovering 35 percent to 40 percent as new business models scaled. In contrast, a worst-case scenario similar to the Blockbuster versus Netflix shift between 1997 and 2010 could see prolonged disruption, with valuations falling sharply over time if companies fail to adapt.

UBS said AI-led productivity improvements could theoretically result in a 25 percent to 35 percent decline in IT services revenues if gains are competed away, though the actual impact is expected to be lower. The report noted that a higher share of fixed-price contracts could mitigate this effect, with every 20 percentage point increase in such contracts potentially reducing revenue impact by about 20 percent.

Despite the correction in valuations to below three-year averages, recovery will depend on visible evidence of successful business model transformation. UBS has reduced target multiples across the sector but maintained selective positioning based on relative strengths.

The report said selectivity will be critical as dispersion across companies increases in an evolving industry landscape shaped by artificial intelligence and changing delivery models.
