Prudential Plc shares fall 2.87% after-hours as India's IT sector struggles with weak earnings.

Prudential Plc dropped 2.87% in after-hours trading. The decline in stock price can be attributed to the broader market sentiment, as India's equity benchmarks edged down on Monday due to worries of weak quarterly results by information technology companies. The IT index slid 1.1%, extending its 4% fall last week, as uncertainty over U.S. tariffs continued to weigh on demand.
