Infosys Shares Jump After Q3 Results, Guidance Upgrade
Shares of Infosys rose sharply on Friday, climbing around 5% in early trade after the company reported its third-quarter (Q3 FY26) results and raised its revenue growth outlook for the financial year. Investors reacted positively to the combination of financial performance and improved guidance.
Q3 Performance
Infosys reported year-on-year revenue growth of around 9% in Q3, while net profit saw a slight decline, partly due to a one-time charge related to changes in labour codes. The company upgraded its full-year revenue growth forecast for FY26 to a range of roughly 3.0%–3.5% in constant currency terms and maintained its operating margin guidance.
Brokerages Outlook
Brokerages responded with upbeat commentary, citing strong deal wins and improving demand visibility as reasons for optimism. Analysts have maintained constructive ratings on the stock, noting that large contract wins and the guidance upgrade support future growth prospects. The company’s American Depository Receipts (ADRs) also climbed significantly in overseas markets.
Broader Market Impact
Infosys’s strong performance helped lift sentiment in broader equity markets, with information technology stocks among the key gainers during the session. Overall market indices traded higher as investor confidence improved.
