The Nifty IT index rose 1.7% at the open and 2.62% by 9:30 am, while HCLTech rose about 4.9% to Rs 1,282.70 and some IT shares were up to 6% by 10:10 am. HCLTech narrowed its FY27 revenue growth guidance to 2.5% to 4% in constant currency from 1% to 4%, which raises the floor but still points to slow growth. Whether it is time to buy depends on valuation and your horizon, since brokers are split between positive, neutral and cautious views.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>IT shares rise today in a market that is otherwise cautious, and the move has made IT the best sector on the board. The headline question is simple: is it time to buy TCS, Infosys, HCL Tech, Wipro or Tech Mahindra?<\/p>\n<p>This guide covers why IT shares rise today, the stock-by-stock moves, the HCLTech margin and guidance details, what brokers say, and a framework for deciding.<\/p>\n<p>Gains differ by report and time of day. The headline says up to 3%, one summary says up to 5% and a later update says up to 6%, so use the numbers as a range.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><strong><a
