Infosys Q4 results preview
Infosys is anticipated to report a 7-8 per cent year-on-year (YoY) rise in net profit for the March quarter, driven by a 12-15 per cent increase in revenue, despite the seasonally weak period with fewer billing days. Ebitda margin is seen expanding marginally on a quarter-on-quarter basis, as gains from rupee depreciation may be partly offset by higher visa costs. Deal wins are expected to remain steady.

Analysts largely expect Infosys to provide FY27 organic revenue growth guidance of 2-5 per cent in constant currency (CC) terms on a YoY basis, along with an Ebitda margin guidance of 20-22 per cent. For context, HCL Technologies Ltd's FY27 revenue guidance and Wipro Ltd's Q1 outlook disappointed the Street, while Tata Consultancy Services Ltd does not provide guidance.

Infosys stock performance
2026 has been characterised by heightened macroeconomic uncertainty, persistent geopolitical tensions, and a cautious stance by IT clients on large deal closures, with escalation risks weighing on revenue momentum. While rupee depreciation was seen supporting margins, rising concerns around AI-led deflation drove a recent de-rating in valuation multiples. Despite a partial recovery, Infosys shares remained down 22 per cent year-to-date in 2026, amid the rollout of new Gen-AI models by platforms such as Claude and Palantir, and growing apprehensions around potential disruption to traditional SaaS and IT services models.

Infosys target prices
Ahead of its Infosys quarterly results, PL Capital on April 20 suggested a target of Rs 1,740 on the stock. HDFC Institutional Equities suggested a 'Buy' and a target of Rs 1,600. MOFSL has a target of Rs 1,500 ahead of Q4 results. BNP Paribas has a target price of Rs 1,730.
