Firstsource Solutions' share price surged almost 9%, with volume nearly 2 times higher, in early deals on the BSE on Wednesday, 30 September, in an otherwise cautious market amid rising US bond yields and elevated oil prices. Firstsource Solutions shares opened at ₹248.35 against their previous close of ₹249.55 and jumped as much as 8.6% to rise to an intraday high of ₹270.90. The stock, however, pared gains and traded 3% higher at ₹257.20 around 9:35 am. The equity benchmark Sensex was up 0.16% to 72,645 at that time.
The stock looks set to snap its five-day losing streak on the BSE on Wednesday.
Year-to-date, the stock is down 23% compared to a 15% fall in the Sensex. However, on a shorter timeframe of the last six months, the stock has witnessed strong gains, rising 25% compared to a 1% rise in the Sensex.
Firstsource Solutions shares hit their 52-week low of ₹200.60 this year on 2 March, while they scaled their 52-week high of ₹371.80 on 19 November last year.
In an exchange filing on 22 September, Firstsource Solutions announced it was recognised as the first runner-up among the best ‘Services Eating Software’ at the inaugural services-as-software (SaS) awards by the independent research firm HFS.
Additionally, on 25 September, it said it was named among India’s 'Best Workplaces™ for Women 2026' by Great Place to Work®.
Firstsource Solutions, part of the RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group, is a global business intelligence partner that provides technology-driven solutions across sectors, including healthcare, banking and financial services, communications, media, technology, retail and utilities.
For the June quarter of the current financial year (Q1FY27), the company's consolidated revenue from operations rose 24% year-on-year (YoY) to ₹2,751.75 crore, up from ₹2,220.93 crore in Q1FY26.
Profit for the quarter attributable to owners of the equity declined 2% YoY to ₹165.92 crore from ₹169.33 crore in the same quarter last year.
Vipin Kumar, AVP-Research at Globe Capital Market, underscored that Firstsource Solutions has been trading within a volatile range ( ₹245- ₹292) for more than a month.
Kumar said a decisive break on either side of this range is essential for a sustainable move in that direction.
"A cross and sustain above ₹292 could push it towards ₹330 in the near term; conversely, a fall below ₹245 could drag it back to the ₹225- ₹210 zone in the immediate near term," said Kumar.
According to Aditya Thukral, founder and analyst at AT Research and Risk Managers, Firstsource Solutions has been in a corrective mode since reaching all-time highs in January 2025.
"The correction seems to be still ongoing, and the prices are expected to approach fresh 52-week lows in the months to come. All the rallies will continue to be sold off until another leg of the correction is completed. However, the stock is in a long-term uptrend, but the fresh entry for buyers is still far from current prices, and the best buy level for the stock would be around the ₹150- ₹160 levels," Thukral said.
"As the prices are trading within the box formation for now, the resistance around ₹290 would be an exit point for existing investors. Existing investors should try to exit, and fresh longs should wait for better prices," said Thukral.
