Shares of major software and technology services companies rise after trading that reflects investor optimism about artificial intelligence’s outlook. NDTV reports gains across multiple names, led by Accenture, which climbs about 7% to $133.17. Cognizant also rises sharply, gaining roughly 7.14% in the reports. IBM increases as well, up about 4% to $292.83. The coverage frames the move as a reaction to the idea that AI does not eliminate demand for enterprise software and services, but instead supports continued business opportunity for established vendors. Across the two mentions, the magnitude of Accenture’s increase is described slightly differently—around 7% to as much as 7.5%—but both cite the same closing level at $133.17. Overall, the reports indicate broad-based strength in software-related equities, with gains concentrated among large global providers.
