Infosys Cuts FY27 Growth Outlook Amid Macro Concerns
Infosys, a big IT company, has lowered its expected growth for the next financial year because the global economy is uncertain.
Even though AI is becoming a bigger part of their business, clients are not spending as much as expected.
Their recent quarterly results showed a small increase in revenue but a decrease in profit compared to the previous quarter.
AI now makes up 8.2% of their revenue, which is good, but it's also causing some pricing pressure.
The company is still doing well in areas like financial services and energy, but retail and communications are lagging.
They are confident about future deals, especially in AI and data modernization.
Infosys narrows FY27 revenue growth guidance to 1.5%-3% due to macroeconomic uncertainty.
Q1 FY27 revenue up 3.9% sequentially to Rs 48,211 crore, net profit down 8.6% to Rs 7,769 crore.
AI services now account for 8.2% of quarterly revenue, up from 5.5% in February.
Large deal momentum strong with total contract value rising to $3.6 billion.
Sectoral demand healthy in financial services and energy, lagging in retail and communications.
