The weakness in domestic markets was largely driven by negative global cues, triggered by renewed tensions between the US and Iran.
According to Reuters, rising geopolitical risks pushed crude oil prices higher, weighing on sentiment across global markets, particularly in oil-importing economies like India.
Brent crude surged past US$100 per barrel amid concerns over potential disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and escalating Middle East tensions.
Amid this, Firstsource Solutions, a global Business Process Management (BPM) company, saw its stock surge over 18% in today's trade.
Here's why.
In the March 2026 quarter, revenue rose 19.5% YoY to Rs 25,835 million (m).
Growth remained healthy due to improved operational efficiency and disciplined cost control.
Its EBIT increased 29.8% YoY to Rs 3,143 m, while EBIT margin expanded to 12.2%.
Further, the net profit for the quarter grew 27.7% YoY to Rs 2,052 m.
