V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, noted, “The market’s rally, initially driven by momentum, is now receiving support from fundamentals. The notable surge in large-cap IT stocks, propelled by slightly optimistic management remarks, suggests that a previously underperforming segment might exhibit positive surprises amid indications of a sectoral turnaround.”
