Nirmal Bang Report

In Q3 FY21, Nifty IT index underperformed Nifty by 280 basis points, while it outperformed Nifty by a whopping 4000 basis points in CY20.

The underperformance of Nifty IT in Q3 FY21 can be partly attributed to the already strong run-up in valuation (which was at 10-12 year high) prior to the start of the quarter.

Also, it was offset by the outperformance of heavyweight Nifty Bank vis-a-vis Nifty by 2140 basis points.

One of the reasons for the outperformance of IT vis-a-vis Nifty in Q2 FY21 was outflow from banks on concerns surrounding asset quality. We think those concerns may have diminished in Q3 FY21, leading to Nifty Bank’s sharp upmove.
