This study investigates the relationship between Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratios and stock returns of the ten constituent companies of India's NIFTY IT Index. With cognizance of the strategic importance of the IT sector to the Indian economy, the study takes a quantitative, non- experimental approach using secondary data from credible financial portals. Using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and basic linear regression, the study gauges the efficacy with which P/E ratios have been able to predict stock return. The outcomes prove varied levels of correlation within companies, as evidenced by a high level of association for Persistent Systems (R² = 0.773), while some like Tech Mahindra and Coforge prove to lack any predictive prowess. Overall, the study confirms that the P/E ratios per se are not equally effective predictors of IT stock performance. The research suggests that investors need to pay attention to other financial and industry-specific variables in assessing investment potential. The research offers valuable insights for analysts, portfolio managers, and academics who are interested in valuation procedures in emerging economies.
