Infosys Ltd emerged as the biggest loser in the BSE's 'A' group on June 19, 2026, with shares crashing 7.51% to ₹1,042.55 at 14:47 IST. According to reports from Business Standard, the stock witnessed significantly higher trading volumes compared to its recent average, with 16.47 lakh shares traded against the average daily volumes of 6.04 lakh shares in the past one month. This substantial increase in trading activity indicates heightened investor interest amid the sharp price decline. The stock's decline was particularly significant as it touched a 52-week low during the trading session, highlighting the severity of the sell-off in IT stocks.
The technology sector faced broad-based selling pressure, with Tata Consultancy Services Ltd losing 4.64% to ₹2,102. As reported by Business Standard, the stock recorded 5.8 lakh shares traded on the BSE, which was higher than the average daily volumes of 3.15 lakh shares in the past month. Thomas Cook (India) Ltd tumbled 4.83% to ₹111.05, making it the second biggest loser in the 'A' group, with 1.06 lakh shares traded against the average daily volumes of 4.23 lakh shares in the past month. The sector-wide decline was driven by Accenture's lower revenue guidance for the financial year ending 2026-27, which revised its revenue target to the range of 3% to 4%, compared to the company's earlier estimates of 3% to 5% range.
The broader market indices reflected the challenging sentiment, with BSE SENSEX dropping 607.08 points or 0.78% to close at 76,802.90 and NSE NIFTY falling 0.64% or 154.90 points to end at 24,013.10 on June 19.
