IT services companies will report their Q4 (January-March) FY25 earnings, starting with Tata Consultancy Services on April 10. Analysts expect a weak exit for FY25 and unexciting guidance for FY26 due to rising global uncertainty. Wipro and Infosys will present their Q4 financial results on April 16 and 17, respectively.

"Budgets will be trimmed, and tech spends will be redirected toward extreme efficiency and resilience," said Motilal Oswal Financial Services in its report. It said the full impact of tariffs will take time to unfold and discretionary spend is likely to be put on hold again. "We expect the next 3-6 months to bring negative news flow—including earnings cuts and potential pullbacks in FY26 guidance," it said in a note.
