New York, Feb 24, 2026, 09:38 EST — Regular session underway.
- DXC shares bounced in early Tuesday trade, clawing back some ground after plunging the previous session.
- U.S. equities slipped Monday, with software stocks taking an outsized hit.
- Eyes now turn to the March 2 conference, where investors are waiting on new commentary.
DXC Technology climbed 3.4% to $12.25 in early Tuesday trading in New York, as some buyers returned to the name following a sharp drop the previous session. Recent volatility has attracted attention to the stock. (StockAnalysis)
Shares of the IT services provider slid 11.2% Monday, landing at $11.85. Trading volume was higher than usual, according to MarketWatch data. The stock underperformed the broader market and several rivals. (MarketWatch)
The drop came on the heels of investors retreating from risk, rattled by new trade-policy doubts and revived fears that rapid AI advances might shake up segments of the software and services sector. “It’s ‘sell first, assess later,’” said Tom Hainlin, national investment strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management.

DXC clawed back some ground early Tuesday, but that wasn’t enough to settle the debate among traders: was Monday’s drop just a fleeting shakeout, or does it point to a shift in how investors treat mid-cap IT services stocks when the macro narrative sours?
No fresh catalyst landed today, but the company is on the calendar for Morgan Stanley’s Technology, Media & Telecom Conference set for March 2, per its announcement. (Dxc)
DXC’s latest update came Jan. 29, with the company reporting quarterly revenue of $3.19 billion and setting its full-year fiscal 2026 revenue outlook at approximately $12.69 billion, alongside projected non-GAAP diluted EPS of about $3.15. Bookings landed at $3.6 billion, putting its book-to-bill ratio at 1.12. Chief Executive Raul Fernandez, in the release, pointed to ongoing investments aimed at boosting future revenue performance.

IT services and consulting peers have felt the hits from volatility across the tech sector, particularly once talk of tighter corporate budgets and shrinking sales cycles surfaces among investors.
DXC faces a major risk: the stock’s rebound could falter if markets continue to adjust their views on growth and services exposure amid ongoing tariff and AI uncertainty. There’s also the chance investors shift attention back to DXC’s actual revenue path and its progress against stated guidance.
