Mumbai: The Indian stock market is expected to remain highly sensitive this week to key macroeconomic data, corporate earnings—especially from IT giant Tata Consultancy Services (TCS)—and global financial cues.
TCS Q2 Results to Set the Tone
The biggest focus is on TCS’s quarterly results, due on October 9, which will kick off the Q2 FY26 earnings season. Given recent challenges in the IT sector—such as US visa fee hikes, a proposed 25% outsourcing tax, and job cuts—analysts believe that TCS’s management commentary will strongly influence investor sentiment.
