It declined 25% in last 1-year, gave return of 141% in last 3-years, and 147% return in last 5-years.
According to ICICI Securities, “We expect INFY’s superior digital capability, focus on large cost optimisation / digital transformation / integrated deals and strong management execution would enable it to remain the fastest-growing large-cap IT services company globally. We expect INFY to start with a conservative revenue growth guidance of 6-8% in CC terms for FY24E given the overhang around recent banking crisis and limited visibility on how it may unfold over next few months.”

According to ICICI Securities, “Mphasis has been one of the worst performing stocks in Indian IT space and under our coverage since mid-Feb’23, having corrected by 24% vs NIFTY IT correcting by 12%. This we believe is due to its highest exposure to BFSI vertical at 62% of overall revenues within our coverage where there is delay in decision-making and general pause on discretionary spending.”
