    By Dalal Street Investment Journal (DSIJ)

    Summary :

     

    HCL Technologies Ltd share price gained over 4% in early trade after the Company completed its acquisition of Jaspersoft and announced a $1.14 billion AI-led digital transformation deal with a Europe-based Fortune Global 50 company. The twin announcements boosted investor sentiment and made the stock a top gainer in the Nifty IT index.
