In the current times when global recession is overhead, HCL Tech performed on average for the quarter compared to its peers. We at AlphaStreet maintain a hold viewpoint on the stock witnessing the fair valuation of the share price compared to its peers. HCL Tech is dependent on large deals for growth. So, one has to be watching out for deal activity in the market. Trends in the ER&D business are also important to track as the segment is discretionary-heavy and prone to cuts in a slowdown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
