HCLTech Shares Surge on Robust Q2 Results and AI Momentum

HCLTech shares jumped nearly 4% on Tuesday, emerging as the top gainer on the Nifty 50, after the IT major reported strong second-quarter numbers and highlighted accelerating growth in artificial intelligence. The stock rose sharply in early trade as investors cheered a solid performance that beat expectations on several fronts. A standout feature was the 78% year-on-year surge in AI-related revenue, underscoring the company’s successful push into high-growth digital and generative AI services. Management also revised its longer-term outlook upward, raising FY27 growth guidance and signalling confidence in sustained demand for technology services. The combination of healthy sequential growth, improved deal wins and a stronger AI pipeline lifted market sentiment around the stock.
