Firstsource Solutions shares surged sharply in early trade on April 16, rising over 15% to emerge among the top gainers on the NSE, marking their biggest single-day gain in the last six years.
The stock was trading at ₹253.60, up ₹33.24 or 15.08%, after opening at ₹223 and hitting an intraday high of ₹254.68. The rally was accompanied by strong volumes, indicating broad-based buying interest.
This sharp move stands out as the most significant one-day rally for the stock since its major earnings-driven spikes seen during earlier cycles, underscoring renewed investor interest in the company. The surge in Firstsource shares comes amid improving sentiment around mid-cap IT stocks today.
In recent quarters, the company has been focusing on:
- Digital transformation services across BFSI, healthcare, and telecom sectors
- Expansion of its AI-led and automation-driven offerings
- Strengthening client relationships in key global markets, especially the US
The broader IT pack has also seen selective buying interest, with investors rotating into mid-cap names that offer better growth visibility and operating leverage.
