Synopsis: Infosys reported a mixed set of Q3 FY26 results, with a marginal decline in profit but a strong revenue performance and an upward revision in FY26 revenue guidance. While margin pressure from labour code implementation weighed on profitability, sustained deal wins and growing AI-led demand helped the company reinforce confidence in its medium-term growth outlook.
Infosys delivered steady topline growth during the December quarter, supported by enterprise spending on digital transformation and AI programs. However, higher employee-related costs and the impact of new labour codes led to margin compression.
| Metric | Q3 FY26 | Q3 FY25 | YoY Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue from Operations | â‚ą45,479 crore | â‚ą41,702 crore | +9% |
| Net Profit (PAT) | â‚ą6,654 crore | â‚ą6,806 crore | -2% |
| Operating Profit | â‚ą8,355 crore | â‚ą8,891 crore | -6% |
| Operating Margin | 18.4% | 21.3% | -290 bps |
Sequentially, operating margin also declined from 21% in Q2 FY26, highlighting near-term cost pressures despite revenue growth.
In constant currency terms:
Infosys revised its FY26 revenue guidance upward to 3%–3.5%, while maintaining its margin guidance at 20%–22%, signaling confidence in demand recovery during the second half of the fiscal year.
Infosys reported $4.8 billion in large deal TCV, with 57% coming from net new deals, underscoring improving client confidence.
Key demand drivers include:
Salil Parekh, CEO & MD, highlighted the strategic shift towards AI-led engagements, stating that clients increasingly view Infosys as a long-term AI transformation partner rather than a traditional IT vendor.
Market analysts largely view the results as operationally stable but margin-constrained in the near term.
Key Analyst Takeaways:
Brokerages broadly expect margins to gradually recover as exceptional costs taper off and pricing discipline improves.
