Infosys financial performance and leadership transition

Overview

Infosys reported a 12.2% year-on-year increase in consolidated net profit for the June quarter, reaching ₹7,769 crore, while revenue grew 14% to ₹48,211 crore. Despite this profit growth, the company lowered its FY27 constant-currency revenue growth outlook to a range of 1.5% to 3%.

Following these results, the company announced that Ashiss Kumar Dash, a long-time insider, has been appointed CEO-designate to succeed Salil Parekh on 1 April 2027. Dash is expected to lead an “AI-led” transformation for the firm.

The lowered revenue guidance and a reduction in institutional stakes have contributed to downward pressure on the company’s share price. In August 2026, shares experienced a decline, trading at ₹1,167.80, following the revised FY27 outlook. Over the preceding year, the stock saw a decline of approximately 18.92%.

Further downward pressure emerged following a Q1 earnings miss, leading to several brokerage downgrades. Analysts at Susquehanna, Weiss Ratings, HSBC, Wells Fargo, and TD Cowen adjusted their price objectives or ratings. Among ten firms covering the stock, two issued sell recommendations while eight assigned hold ratings, contributing to a consensus rating of ‘Reduce’ from several brokerage groups.
