Infosys, headquartered in Bengaluru, India, reported a 20.8% rise in net profit for the fourth quarter of FY26, reaching ₹8,051 crore ($975 million USD). Revenue also grew by 13.4% to ₹46,402 crore ($5.6 billion USD), although it fell short of market expectations. The company has adjusted its revenue guidance for FY27 to 1.5-3.5% from the previous 3%-3.5%, citing uncertainties linked to the ongoing conflict in West Asia. CEO Salil Parekh noted a positive outlook for technology demand but acknowledged the challenges posed by geopolitical tensions. The firm’s operating margin was reported at 20.9%, with a significant sequential expansion of 250 basis points. Infosys also reduced its workforce by 8,440, indicating a strategic response to market conditions, while maintaining its hiring target of 20,000 freshers for FY27. The company’s performance reflects broader trends in the IT sector, which is grappling with AI-led revenue compression and competitive pressures.
