Infosys fixes record date for Share buyback

 

The IT major, on Thursday, November 6, 2025, announced that it has fixed Friday, November 14, 2025, as the record date for its ₹18,000-crore share buyback announced in September.

 

In a regulatory filing, Infosys said, “The company has fixed Friday, November 14, 2025 as

Infosys Q2 results

 

Infosys reported a 13.2 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) rise in net profit to ₹7,364 crore for the July-September quarter (Q2FY26), driven by a robust large-deal pipeline and broad-based growth across verticals despite a challenging macro environment.

 

The company also raised the lower end of its FY26 revenue guidance to 2-3 per cent in constant currency (CC), from 1-3 per cent earlier, signaling growing confidence in deal momentum.

 

Revenue for the quarter rose 8.6 per cent Y-o-Y to ₹44,490 crore, led by strong performance in financial services and manufacturing. Both profit and revenue surpassed Bloomberg consensus estimates, marking two consecutive quarters of steady growth.

 

On a constant currency basis, Infosys grew 3.7 per cent, outperforming TCS but trailing HCLTech’s 5.8 per cent growth. Wipro’s revenue fell 2.6 per cent, while LTIMindtree rose 4.4 per cent.
