The company today reported 6% year-on-year (YoY) rise in its consolidated net profit at Rs 7,823 crore for the July-September quarter of FY27 from Rs 7,364 crore in the year-ago period. Its revenue from operations meanwhile increased 11% YoY to Rs 49,244 crore during the quarter under review.

The results were more or less in line with Street expectations on revenue, although profit growth came below estimates. An average of seven brokerages had estimated an 11% rise in revenue and an 8% increase in net profit for the quarter.

The IT services major has trimmed its revenue growth guidance to 1-2% in constant currency for FY27 as against 1.5-3% given earlier. Infosys cited a challenging demand environment as a reason for lowering its guidance. The Bengaluru-based company retained its operating margin guidance of 20-22% for the full financial year.
