Volume and Market Reaction

In terms of volume, 3.8 lakh shares were traded on the BSE and 141.7 lakh shares on the NSE. The market's reaction came a day after Infosys reported an 8.7% rise in consolidated net profit to Rs 6,921 crore for the April–June quarter, though it saw a 1.5% sequential slip from the January–March quarter.

Revenue Growth and Future Outlook

Revenue for the quarter saw a 7.53% year-on-year increase to Rs 42,279 crore, with a 3.3% quarter-on-quarter growth, driven by AI-driven services and new deal wins. Despite this growth, Infosys has narrowed its FY26 revenue guidance to 1–3%, citing caution over macroeconomic conditions.

Broader Market Impact

The downturn in Infosys shares contributed to a broader market decline, with the Sensex falling 542.47 points and the Nifty dropping 157.80 points. Analysts attribute the market's weakness to the performance of IT majors following Infosys' results.
