Infosys buyback: New AI playbook
Mint Mumbai
|September 13, 2025
Markets on Friday cheered Infosys Ltd's ₹18,000-crore share repurchase plan, a playbook analysts expect India's top IT services firms to borrow to shore up investor confidence while they catch up with artificial intelligence and other new-age technologies.
Infosys shares ended the day's 1% higher on NSE, a day after it announced its fifth share buyback since 2017.
But the company's spending report card raises an important question: Is India's second-largest information technology services vendor prioritizing shareholder returns over making itself future-ready by investing in AI and buying companies with disruptive technologies?
"In a choppy market, buybacks are the easiest lever they have to prop up confidence while they figure out how to reinvent delivery for the AI era," said Phil Fersht, chief executive of HFS Research, an outsourcing-research firm.
