Infosys Q4 Results Review

Susovon Nayak, IT Research Analyst at Anand Rathi Institutional Equities, said that Infosys has shown higher-than-anticipated revenue de-growth in the fourth quarter results along with the muted guidance for the new 2025-26 fiscal. 

“Weak set of results for Infosys in Q4FY25, with muted guidance for FY26 growth being 1.5% (midpoint of the range 0-3% constant currency growth), reflecting macro headwinds and potential deferral in client spends,” he said. 

“Higher than anticipated revenue de-growth in Q4FY25, coupled with muted guidance for YoY growth in FY26 being 1.5% (midpoint of the range 0-3% constant currency growth), reflects macro headwinds and potential deferral in client spends,” said the IT sector analyst. 

“Operating margin guidance at 20-22%. FY26 FCF expected to stay >100% of net profit. Infosys has approved the acquisitions of MRE Consulting in the US and The Missing Link in Australia, strengthening its digital and cybersecurity capabilities,” said Nayak. 

Infosys Stock to buy?

Kunal Kamble, the Senior Technical Research Analyst at Bonanza Group, said that the Infosys futures are forming a ‘Lower Low–Lower High’ structure, a sign of a negative trend. 

“The recent buying activity appears to be driven by the stock entering the oversold zone. The RSI has entered the oversold territory twice, suggesting a possible pause in the ongoing downtrend, with some profit booking likely leading to a short-term upward move,” said the technical analyst. 

Kamble reiterated that the overall trend of Infosys stock remains negative, and any bounceback in the shares would serve as a selling opportunity for the investors who own Infosys. 

“However, the overall trend remains negative. Any bounce should be used as a selling opportunity in Infosys,” he said.
