Raises FY26 revenue growth guidance in range of 3-3.5%
A strong deal pipeline and disciplined execution have prompted Infosys, India’s second-largest information technology (IT) services firm, to raise its revenue growth guidance for 2025-26.
The company now expects revenue growth in the range of 3-3.5 per cent in constant currency in FY26, up from the 2-3 per cent it expected in October.
The firm reported a 2.2 per cent decline in net profit to about ₹6,654 crore for the third quarter (October-December) of FY26 due to the impact of the new Labour Codes. This came even as its financial services and manufacturing businesses remained strong. Revenue rose 8.9 per cent year-on-year to around ₹45,479 crore, driven largely by financial services and manufacturing. While Infosys beat revenue estimates, it missed profit expectations. Bloomberg had estimated revenue of about ₹45,172 crore and net profit of around ₹7,393 crore. The impact from the implementation of the Labour Codes during the quarter was ₹1,289 crore.
