Among the Sensex constituents, Hindustan Unilever, Eternal, Titan, Tata Steel, Adani Ports, Tata Consultancy Services, PowerGrid, Reliance Industries, Bharat Electronics Ltd, Asian Paints, Mahindra & Mahindra, HDFC Bank and HCL Technologies were the major laggards. On the other hand, Bajaj Finance and State Bank of India were the only gainers.
“Domestic equities ended lower following a highly volatile session, weighed down by weak global cues ahead of the upcoming US inflation data.
“Sentiment gains from the US-India trade deal have faded as renewed AI-driven disruption fears weigh on risk appetite, with markets worrying that Indian IT firms dependent on the labour arbitrage model may face tougher competitive pressure than their Nasdaq peers,” Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Ltd, said.
Top indicators for today’s trade:
Benchmarks under pressure: Sensex plunges 1048 pts to close at 82,626.76, Nifty 50 slumps 336 pts to 25,471
IT index extends slide: Nifty IT declines 1.44%, following Thursday’s sharp 4.72% fall — its worst single-day drop in 10 months; Coforge, TCS, Infosys and Wipro among key losers.
Global tech rout impact: Strong US jobs data dampened rate-cut hopes, while a 2% Nasdaq fall intensified valuation concerns for technology stocks globally.
AI disruption debate deepens: Brokerages flagged incumbency risks for Indian IT firms, though some analysts believe AI could ultimately expand demand despite near-term margin pressure.
Broad-based weakness: Market breadth remained negative with midcap and smallcap indices down over 1%; 2,700+ stocks declined on the BSE, reflecting risk-off sentiment.

FII Buying Reflects Improving Sentiment, but Sustained Inflows Hinge on Trade Clarity and Earnings
Here is the view from Akhil Puri, Partner at Financial Advisory, Forvis Mazars India
After three months of steady outflows, FIIs have turned net buyers in February, investing nearly $1.7 billion in Indian equities. While this reflects improving sentiment, it may be premature to view it as a sustained return of foreign flows.
Optimism around the evolving India–US trade framework has aided the shift, but key elements are still being negotiated. These include the depth of tariff cuts for sectors such as textiles and auto components, the scope and timeline of India’s proposed $500 billion purchase of US goods, digital trade rules, phased market access for select agricultural and industrial products, and reduction of non-tariff barriers. The final terms will determine the real earnings impact, and part of the optimism may already be priced in.
A stronger fundamental driver could be the expected rise in corporate earnings in Q4 FY2026. Benefits from the 2025 GST rationalisation, softer commodity prices, higher capacity utilisation, continued government capex, and improving rural demand may support margins and growth.
Sustained FII inflows will ultimately depend on earnings delivery, policy clarity, and India’s resilience amid global geopolitical uncertainties.

Why “Software Is Dead” is an over-stretched argument: TrustLine Holdings CEO N. ArunaGiri talks about AI's impact on IT services
“There are currently two sharply contrasting views on the impact of AI in the IT services and software space.
On the more pessimistic side, the argument is that AI will enable enterprises to develop software in-house with significantly less effort. If that happens, the need for external IT services providers and even SaaS businesses could materially decline. In its extreme form, this view suggests a structural erosion of business models of traditional IT services and software providers.
However, a more balanced and in our view, more probable scenario looks completely different.
AI is likely to dramatically compress the software development lifecycle. By reducing coding time, lowering migration costs, and simplifying legacy modernization, AI can significantly increase productivity. Rather than shrinking demand, this could expand it. Lower costs and faster execution may unlock a much larger volume of projects across enterprises and consumers.
In this scenario, migration costs decline, Legacy upgrade costs reduce, Time-to-market shortens, and productivity increases meaningfully. As a result, previously deferred or economically unviable projects may become viable. This could trigger a second-order explosion in demand for software tools, enterprise solutions, and implementation services.
The view that software or IT services are structurally obsolete appears overstretched, particularly in the enterprise segment which run mission critical multilocational and highly secure applications.
Large enterprises operate in highly complex environments characterized by Deep legacy, software stacks, Stringent regulatory environments, Multi-location and multi-country infrastructure, Mission-critical systems requiring reliability and a high level of security and governance.
These environments are unlikely to transition fully to self-built AI-generated systems without expert oversight. Specialized IT service providers and software vendors will continue to play a critical role in integration, compliance, architecture, and large-scale transformation.
From today’s vantage point, it is more reasonable to expect the second scenario to unfold over time AI reduces development cycles, Demand for software and services expands, and Integration services for mission-critical Enterprise applications explode.
This is the likely scenario that is likely to play out once the dust settles. Even if IT services companies emerge as long-term beneficiaries, growth rates may moderate and pricing power could weaken due to the inherently deflationary nature of AI-driven productivity gains.
In the context of the current correction in IT stocks, one needs to keep this balanced view and take a stock-specific approach.
The most compelling opportunities are likely to be Companies deeply entrenched in mission-critical enterprise systems, Vendors with high switching costs and strong client integration, Businesses operating in regulated or complex environments. In short, in the current IT melt-down, instead of taking an universal buy-on-dips approach, take a prudent selective and stock-specific approach based on underlying business models.”

Healthy Pullback or Start of Deeper Correction? IT Slump Raises Questions
What is triggering today’s correction?
Today’s correction is primarily driven by a sharp sell-off in the IT sector, with the NIFTY IT declining nearly 5% and extending its multi-day losses. The weakness is largely attributed to rising global concerns around AI-led disruption, particularly after advancements by Anthropic, which have intensified fears that traditional, labor-intensive IT services models could face structural challenges. The pressure was further amplified by weak cues from US technology stocks, diminishing hopes of near-term Fed rate cuts following stronger-than-expected US jobs data, profit booking after the recent market upmove, and broad-based weakness in metals and other cyclical sectors. Overall, the correction reflects a mix of global uncertainty and sector-specific concerns rather than domestic structural weakness.
Is this a healthy pullback or the start of deeper consolidation?
At this stage, it appears to be a healthy pullback within an ongoing uptrend, but it could have more legs in the near term. The key risk lies in the vulnerability of US markets, which are showing signs of a potentially deeper correction. Given the strong global correlation, any sustained weakness there could spill over into Indian equities. From a technical standpoint, 25,500–25,400 is a crucial support zone for NIFTY 50. A decisive break below this zone could open the possibility of revisiting the Budget Day low around 24,500. Unless these levels are breached convincingly, the broader structure remains constructive.
What strategy should investors adopt at current levels?
The medium- to long-term outlook for Indian equities remains structurally bullish, supported by strong domestic macros, earnings resilience, and improving fundamentals. However, with global cues turning uncertain, investors should adopt a measured and phased approach: Avoid aggressive lump-sum buying at current levels. Gradually accumulate high-quality stocks with strong earnings visibility and robust balance sheets. Maintain some cash to deploy in case of a deeper correction driven by global volatility. Any meaningful correction triggered by external factors should be viewed as a strategic buying opportunity, not a reason to panic.

Sanjay Kumar, CEO & MD, Rassense, on CPI Data of January 2026
“The spike in retail inflation during January 2026 is majorly due the rise in food prices along with alterations in components with 2023-24 as the base. Technically, it is a good sign that in-spite of the changes, inflationary trend has remained well-within the comfort band of the RBI.
This will help sustain household purchasing power and confidence, supporting continued spending on essential and discretionary good alike, keeping the pricing dynamics balanced. While this can be taken positively, it is critical to be watchful of how the situation takes shape as we proceed further into 2026, especially in the wake of economic volatilities due to global headwinds.”

Stock market live: FII selling streak ends with $1.7 billion inflow; sustainability hinges on global cue
Pranay Aggarwal, Director and CEO of Stoxkart on FII Selling Streak Ends; Sustainability Hinges on Global Cues
Foreign Institutional Investors have started returning to Indian equities after three consecutive months of sustained selling, with inflows of nearly $1.7 billion so far in February. The clarity surrounding the India–US trade deal has played an important role in improving risk sentiment and reducing policy uncertainty, which has encouraged this shift. However, this appears to be a cautious reallocation rather than a decisive structural reversal.
While the recent buying signals improving confidence, overall flows for the year remain negative, and the sustainability of inflows will largely depend on global factors such as US interest rates, bond yields, dollar movement, earnings growth, and domestic valuations. The India–US trade agreement itself seems largely priced in, as markets have already rallied on tariff clarity and reduced downside risks. Going forward, FII participation is likely to remain selective and somewhat volatile, rather than translating into a consistent and aggressive buying cycle.

CITI on Bharat Forge
Sell, TP Rs 930
3Q below estimate due to weaker exports revenue .
Mgmt called out weakness in NA Trucks segment (down 51% YoY), but outlook is very buoyant –
Mgmt. is optimistic about exports as well as domestic segments.
Mgmt is very positive about defence segment and expects 30-40%YoY growth in FY27, & alluded to 18-20% growth over medium term
Order wins in 3Q were Rs23.9bn (inc defense order of Rs18.8).
Aerospace segment is also witnessing continued strong traction
Remain cautious; valuations at 49x/40x FY27/28 P/E (consensus) adequately price-in positives but provide little room for error.
CLSA on Bharat Forge
Upgrade to Hold, TP raised to Rs 1705
Believe cycle is turning positively for Co driven by
an improvement in the domestic outlook on the back of the domestic CV upcycle and execution on the defence orderbook
a revival in the export market led by a reduction in US tariffs, improving freight rates driving higher class 8 truck orders and CV inventory normalisation

Jefferies on Muthoot fin
Buy, TP Rs 4750
Q3 PAT grew 98%YoY to Rs27bn vs. Rs23bn est. led by interest income write backs.
Standalone AUM grew 51% YoY, but missed est. due to lower LTV and QoQ dip in tonnage.
Core NIMs fell QoQ; opex/ AUM & credit cost surprised positively.
Strong gold prices, LTV buffer, easing of branch expansion norms should support healthy AUM growth
This along with steady NIMs, lower opex/ AUM & credit costs should drive 17% EPS CAGR, 25%+ ROE over FY26-28e
CLSA on Muthoot Fin
O-P, TP Rs 4600
Another strong quarter as 3QFY26 NII/PPOP/PAT beat our estimates by 6%-8%. Loan growth of 11% QoQ/51% YoY was c.2ppt above our estimate.
More interestingly is its calculated loan yield expanded QoQ, despite a higher base.
This was driven by continued interest recoveries, which also contributed to the earnings beat.
As a result, its topline grew 13% QoQ. As we highlighted in previous reports, its business model has inherent operating leverage due to the large-fixed costs in the business.
Total Opex, adjusted for the Rs480m one-off labour code impact, was flat QoQ.
Only negative for quarter was 2% sequential decline in tonnage & slowdown in customer acquisitions

Gross margin was 53.6% (MSe: 54.6%)
EBITDA margin was 24.3% (MSe: 25.1%), due mainly to lower gross margin and higher employee costs, partly offset by lower provisions (4.2% of revenue, MSe: 7%)

Q3 EBITDA, even after adjusting for fire incident at Novelis, fell 10% QoQ (inline with JEFe).
India business EBITDA rose 7% QoQ, but was 5% below JEFe primarily led by weaker-than-expected performance
of aluminum business
Raise FY27-28 EPS by 6% on higher aluminum prices, but are concerned on multiple fire incidents clouding Novelis’ operational outlook as well as rising debt levels
Citi on Hindalco Industries
Downgrades to Neutral from Buy with a raised target price of ₹1,000 (from ₹920)

India aluminium business remains strong
Higher leverage and cash flow risks offset structural aluminium bull case
Risk-reward now balanced; downgrade to Neutral
CLSA on Hindalco

Co’s India aluminium profitability was weighed down by slightly higher cost of production (COP), lower alumina/downstream profitability and negative hedging impact

Consolidated net debt increased Rs180bn QoQ to Rs594bn on fire impact at Novelis & higher working capital for copper (which is likely to reverse in 4Q)
Believe post Bay Minette commissioning, coinciding with insurance receipts, leverage is likely to drop from end-FY27
Hindalco remains committed to cap net debt to Ebitda at less than 2x.

Citi on Indian IT services
Why is this cycle different (vs. Cloud/SaaS)?
Unlike the move to the Cloud, this AI shift has unique challenges:
Incumbency Risk: Indian IT has doubled in size since the Cloud era. It is now the “dominant player” being disrupted, rather than the strong challenger
Cloud impacted infrastructure; AI impact is more pervasive
New Rev streams are small, exploratory (not able to offset the loss in traditional work)
Citi has a cautious view on the sector

“Gold has recovered post the Jan end collapse and well on its way to what we believe should be 6000 USD / Oz levels by end CY 2026. Though President Trump’s deal with India, a potential deal with Brazil etc have reduced the uncertainty, higher inflation as well as continuing geopolitical uncertainties apart from the emerging split between the North West and the rest of the world will continue to propel reserve bank buying. We believe all dips are an opportunity to buy Gold”

Currency market live: Bitcoin drifts toward $66,000 as AI-led tech selloff weighs on crypto market
Vikram Subburaj, CEO, Giottus.com
February 13, 2026
Bitcoin drifted lower on February 13 and slipped back toward the $66,000 zone as the market struggled to hold onto a brief early-week rebound. The retreat followed BTC’s failure to sustain momentum above $70,000. This reinforced the sense that rallies are still being met with distribution rather than fresh conviction buying. At current levels, the market appears caught between cautious dip-buyers and macro-driven sellers. This is the reason for the choppy and reactive price action.
Technically, the focus has shifted back to the $64,000-$62,500 band, which marks the next meaningful area of support if weakness persists. A decisive break below this zone would open the door to a deeper retracement toward psychologically important levels closer to $60,000. On the upside, resistance remains layered and dense. Any recovery attempt is likely to face supply near $69,000-$71,000. This region has repeatedly capped advances over the past fortnight.
The latest bout of weakness has less to do with crypto-specific stress and more with a broader risk-off pulse across markets. A renewed sell-off in technology stocks, fuelled by reassessments around AI-driven valuations, has weighed on sentiment. Even traditional havens such as precious metals failed to attract defensive inflows. In that sense, Bitcoin is once again trading as a high-beta macro asset rather than an isolated alternative.
On-chain signals offer a measure of perspective. The MVRV ratio (which compares market value to realised value) is hovering around 1.2. This suggests that the market is sitting on moderate unrealised gains rather than deep distress. Historically, this zone has coincided with prolonged consolidation phases.
Altcoins broadly tracked Bitcoin’s softer tone. Ethereum eased toward $1,950, while XRP and other large caps also drifted lower. BNB was a relative outperformer and managed modest gains. Stablecoins remained tightly pegged.
Overall, the tape suggests a market still digesting earlier gains. It is resilient enough to avoid disorderly breakdowns, but lacks the macro clarity and liquidity impulse needed to sustain a renewed advance.
Our advice: For investors, the immediate support is clustered near the $64,000 and $62,500 levels. On-chain metrics do not yet suggest a major capitulation. For disciplined participants, a staggered accumulation near support levels and prudent hedging via futures or SIP-style averaging can help navigate volatility while keeping downside risk in check. Do not trade unless you are an expert. Look at accumulation as an investment at these lower price points.

Rajeev Sharan, Head – Criteria, Model Development & Research, Brickwork Ratings on January CPI numbers
“India’s January 2026 CPI inflation at 2.75% on the new 2024 base underscores a still-comfortable price environment. Core inflation, near 3.1%, reflects firm momentum in services and personal care. The base revision, with reduced food weight and expanded services coverage, implies structurally softer headline prints but sharper visibility on demand-side pressures. This should allow the RBI to remain accommodative in the near term, supporting growth, while pivoting toward neutrality if core remains sticky above headline. From a credit outlook perspective, benign inflation and improved measurement strengthen debt-servicing capacity, supporting sovereign and corporate credit profiles.”

India IT Services: Looking through the AI fog 2: Discounted for extinction? Div/FCF yields at crisis levels
J.P. Morgan
Nifty IT Index is down 10% over the last 1M vs. Nifty flat on fears of AI advances disrupting Indian IT Services in addition to the Global Software/SaaS complex (IGV down 15%). The bears argue that AI will eat into Software/SaaS and therefore reduce the scope of IT Services work, driving potential revenue declines. We argued in Looking through the AI fog that we are likely in year 3 of AI deflation and the three year below par (LSD) growth the sector is witnessing (CY23-25) include both structural (AI deflation) and cyclical (macro) factors. We acknowledge that it is difficult to quantify the real impact of AI (both deflation and inflation) and the duration of demand deflation given where we are in the cycle. However, it’s overly simplistic to assume that AI can automatically generate enterprise grade software and replace the value IT Services firms create across the cycle. Indeed, IT Services companies remain the plumbers in the tech world, and if enterprise software/SaaS is rewritten on a bespoke basis by agents - it will need significant services plumbing to work in enterprise context and minimise AI slop. Our reverse DCF suggests that stocks bake in 4% terminal growth at current prices with no ST acceleration. Indeed, if the last three year (CY23-25) LSD growth were to become permanent terminal growth, there is at most 10% downside to current price. The only case with >30% further downside is companies hit 0 terminal growth with no growth hereafter. Both these scenarios appear overly pessimistic to us given the new AI work streams emerging and the likely cyclical recovery. FCF/Div yields scream deep value and are crossing levels prior seen during market dislocation events such as GFC and COVID. We would take a barbell approach to buy deep value in large caps - OW rated INFO and TCS, along with growth champions such as OW rated PSYS/Sagility.
Marginal improvement keeps us close to current prices. In this scenario, we assume a gradual acceleration in growth from FY26 levels to MSD and stay well below the LT (5-10 year) average of 7-8%, and this doesn’t lead to any significant upside. We assume 4.3%/4.9%/5.9% rev CAGR over the next 10 years for TCS/INFO/HCLT, which implies potential upside of 1%/8%/1%.

Stock market live: Rajeev Jain, CEO, Bajaj Finance, on Q3 Concall on the Impact of AI
“AI listened to 2 Cr calls, converted voice to text, and gave us data. Text-to-data conversion happened for 5.2 lakh customers. As a result, we generated 100,000 new offers for which we did not have information earlier.
“This capability did not exist in Q1 and Q2. It just got deployed. We’ll be able to listen to 100 million calls next year,” said Jain. He added that loan disbursements through AI-powered call centres stood at about Rs 1,600 crore. That’s ~ 10% of the Rs 16,545 Cr of disbursals in Q3FY26
Data converting -- data from those calls led to another INR 325 crores of volumes. So, this is just our first attempt.
Over the next six months, Bajaj Finance plans to invest heavily in its agents. The company expects to have more than 800 autonomous agents across sales, operations, HR, IT, risk, and DMS in the next fiscal.
Similarly, in terms of 100% of videos are now generated by us using AI, 100% of banners are generated using AI, 2.7 lakh videos were generated, and 1.2 lakh banners were generated. At the customer engagement level, we have 11 AI text BOTs that are live that engage with the customer. So rather than sending dumb SMSs for 11 products now, we have an AI text BOT, which allows you to engage, interact, and respond to your queries.
The company has 26 products. All 26 will be live between April and May’26. So, there will be no communication that we’ll be sending, which will not have a -- whether service or sales, which will not have a conversational BOT embedded in it.
At the branch and point of sale, existing customers face match that we’re doing, we did 46 million face matches to ensure this is the same customer, if it’s an ETB customer who had actually principally come in, giving us much better control over identity.
Customer onboarding in terms of document -- ensuring that auto-fill of the document happens, whether it’s a PAN card or an Aadhaar. There are 43 such documents that the company has now mapped, which an image extracts with a 95% - 96% accuracy and populate data in our platforms, delivering significant productivity for our employees.
Auto quality check of documents is now 41%. As we sharpen the model, it will take us to between 85% and 90% over a period of the next 15-odd months
On technology development, we are clearly seeing between 25% - 45% efficiencies emerging in terms of the development process, depending on whether it’s a legacy platform, then the benefit is much lower, or rather, I would say, none. But if it’s a digital infrastructure, then the efficiencies can be as high as 45% - 47%. So significant work is being done.
