Infosys Shares Experience a Downturn
Following the announcement of its Q1 FY26 results, Infosys shares witnessed a decline of over 1%, leading to a significant erosion of Rs 8,661.66 crore in market capitalisation. The stock closed at Rs 1,553.55 on the BSE, marking a 1.32% drop, while on the NSE, it settled 1.36% lower at Rs 1,553.

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.
