At 1.4%, Infosys sees lowest growth in its 43-year history

Infosys announced on Thursday, April 19, that its yearly revenue growth was 1.4%, the lowest it has ever been. During the fiscal year 2023–24, the IT giant recorded a 1.4% increase in revenue, missing its own projection. This is a result of clients’ persistent cost-cutting efforts following the pandemic. Infosys has allegedly projected 1-3% growth for the current fiscal year, which serves as another evidence that the IT sector is sustainable.

Infosys’s sales increased to $18.6 billion in FY24, indicating a consistent growth rate of 1.4%. Still, this was a 2.2% sequential fall and a slower growth than the same period last year. The banking and financial services industry saw an 8.5% decline in currency growth, which was a significant setback for Infosys. A 2.2% fall was also observed in North America. A noteworthy financial services contract renegotiation resulted in a 1%-point impact during the March quarter. The company reduced its sales forecast for the previous year to a range of 1.5% to 2%.

Infosys’s stock fell at least 5% in initial trading on Thursday on the New York Stock Exchange because of the company’s sequential revenue fall in the month of March and the dovish remarks from management.

This indicates a lackluster revenue projection for FY25, which is happening in the midst of heightened macroeconomic uncertainties. This uncertainty is a result of declining discretionary spending, political unpredictability, and probable rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve. 

Despite this, the corporation has kept its operating margin projection for FY25 at 20–22%. Based upon the extent of financial discretion and digitization, the organization sees opportunities for cost savings and consolidation. The CEO predicts that FY 25 will have a larger band, off course with a slight variation than FY 24. Regarding various industries, there are some puts and takes. For example, financial services will likely seem stronger this year, but manufacturing won’t.
