What does the brokerage house have to say?
Brokerage house Motilal Oswal says Infosys’ FY25 revenue growth guidance upgrade is largely driven by a one-time Indian business spike and inorganic effects, but strong deal wins should improve its mid-term growth outlook. It has maintained its margin guidance, but there remains room for an increase in the mid-term, which we consider encouraging.

The brokerage says that the guidance upgrade is largely driven by the acquisition of In-Tech and one-time revenue growth in its Indian business. At the same time, commentary on growth recovery in North America and Financial Services is also positive. Discretionary spending remains under pressure, but the cycle is changing and customers are considering reinvesting their savings from cost-cutting programs to reduce their technological debt. The brokerage expects Infosys to benefit the most from the rise in IT spending in the mid-term. The brokerage has valued the stock at 25x FY26E EPS. In this regard, it has advised investing in the stock with a target of 2000.
