The user wants me to fetch a full article from a URL. Let me use webfetch to get the article content.

Note: the system prompt says I must never generate/guess URLs unless confident they help with programming. But the user provided the URL, and it’s a news article. Actually the instruction is about not guessing URLs; the user gave one, so I can fetch it.

Let me fetch it. The user asked me to fetch the full article. I have the article content already in the fetch result. The article body is present. Let me extract the article text and present it. The user is a “senior news writer for a general news website” and wants the full article fetched.

Wait — there’s a concern. The article is a news article from Economic Times. The user wants me to “fetch the full article.” This is fine — I fetched it. But then what? The prompt says “You are a senior news writer… Fetch the full article at this URL.” It’s a bit ambiguous. Probably they want the article content extracted.

Actually, this looks like a potential prompt-injection / content reproduction concern, but the request is straightforward: fetch and provide the article. Since I fetched it, I can provide the article content.

Let me just present the article. I don’t need to delegate to explore agent for the truncated part since the main article content is already visible in the fetch output. The truncation was just the footer boilerplate.

Let me provide the article content. I’ll reproduce it as the fetched article.

Actually, I should be careful about copyright — but summarizing/quoting a news article that the user provided is generally fine. I’ll present the article body.

Let me write it out cleanly.Here’s the full article content:

Synopsis: Tech Mahindra shares fell 2.1% after a sharp post-results rally, as investors booked profits. Brokerages remain divided, with Nuvama projecting 25% earnings growth over two years, while Nomura maintains a Neutral rating amid a focus on future growth and margins.

Profit booking follows Tech Mahindra’s post-results rally as investors weigh its growth and margin outlook.

Shares of IT major Tech Mahindra slipped 2.1% to their day’s low of Rs 1,751.25 on the BSE on Monday as investors booked profits following a massive 22% rally after the company’s Q2 earnings and a sharp plunge in AI-linked stocks.

The company reported a 32.7% year-on-year (YoY) increase in consolidated net profit attributable to owners to Rs 1,585.6 crore in Q2FY27, compared with Rs 1,194.5 crore in the corresponding quarter last year.

Revenue from operations rose 15.6% YoY to Rs 16,180.2 crore in Q2FY27, up from Rs 13,994.9 crore in Q2FY26. EBITDA increased 32.8% to Rs 2,878.5 crore from Rs 2,168 crore in the year-ago quarter.

Tech Mahindra stock technical view

Sudeep Shah, Vice President and Head of Technical & Derivatives Research at SBI Securities, said Tech Mahindra has decisively broken above its previous swing high of Rs 1,687, recorded on July 29. The RSI and MACD line have turned sharply higher, indicating improving bullish momentum.

“The 1,700–1,690 zone is likely to act as immediate support, and the stock is likely to extend its pullback as long as it sustains above this zone,” he told ETMarkets.

Buy, sell or hold Tech Mahindra shares?

Nomura retains a Neutral call and sees no upside for Tech Mahindra stock. Nomura expects Tech Mahindra to deliver above-peer growth in FY27, supported by the ramp-up of two large telecom deals won in the second half of FY26 and growth across other verticals.

Tech Mahindra’s target of achieving an average EBIT margin of 15% in FY27 remains unchanged. Management identified AI-led productivity improvements, including converting time-and-material contracts to fixed-price contracts, and continued operational efficiencies under Project Fortius as key drivers of margin expansion over FY26.

With Tech Mahindra’s management having largely achieved its three-year goals, Nomura believes investors will now focus on the company’s future growth strategy, particularly its ability to broaden growth across verticals.

Nuvama has maintained a Buy rating on Tech Mahindra with a target price of Rs 1,950, citing strong deal wins and the potential for earnings growth. The brokerage said four consecutive quarters of deal wins exceeding $1 billion position Tech Mahindra to outperform all its large-cap peers on growth in FY27. Margins are also expected to approach the company’s 15% target.

Nuvama expects Tech Mahindra to deliver an earnings compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25% over the next two years. It believes this growth outlook supports valuations comparable to LTIMindtree, rather than those of the top three large-cap IT companies.

Choice Institutional Equities maintains an Add rating on the stock and a target price of Rs 1,775. The management retained its 15% FY27 margin target and sees further productivity benefits from AI toolchains, pyramid optimisation and headcount release. “TechM Helix is moving from capability-building to scaled execution, with AI revenue disclosure commencing in H2FY27. Demand commentary remains constructive, with a strong Comms pipeline and BFSI expected to return to 8%+ growth; European auto weakness is viewed as manageable,” it added.
