In a recent note, brokerage house Ambit Capital noted that the March quarter (Q4) outlook doesn’t suggest immediate recovery for IT. It prefers Tier-1 IT over Tier-2 IT.
Axis believes that the said recovery will begin at the start of the new year and FY25 will show strong revenue growth. The brokerage has picked Coforge, Persistent Systems, and KPIT Technologies as its top IT sector picks post the December quarter (Q3FY24) results.
Retail companies have reported mixed performance, with premium retailers sustaining their growth momentum. However, value retailers continued to face pressure, noted the brokerage. Trent and Westlife Foodworld are the top picks of Axis Securities in the retail space post Q3FY24 results.
Post the earnings, brokerage Citi is overweight on PSU Utilities & Defence, Industrials, Banks/Insurance and underweight on Consumer Discretionary, IT Services, and Metals. Its December 2024 NIFTY target is 22.5k, which indicates a 2 percent upside.
