Infosys Sparks Indian IT Stocks Rebound
Indian IT stocks rebounded sharply on Feb. 17, 2026, after the Nifty IT index recovered about 1.9% in early trade, reversing an 8.2% weekly fall. The rally was led by Infosys, which rose about 3% after announcing a strategic partnership with AI firm Anthropic to build regulated-industry solutions; gains were broad-based across large, mid- and small-cap IT names. The sector's recovery helped steady broader markets despite weakness in Reliance and financials.
Scoring Rationale
Official Infosys–Anthropic partnership drives sector rebound, but impact remains primarily limited to Indian IT market.
