Infosys kicked off FY26 with solid numbers. The IT giant posted a sharp rise in profit, steady margins, and big deal wins in the first quarter of the year. Revenue also grew, though not at a blazing pace. Still, it’s a good sign for the months ahead.
Infosys earned ₹6,921 crore in profit this quarter. That’s around 9% more than what it made a year ago. Revenue jumped to ₹42,279 crore, up by about 8%. If you check the dollar figures, that’s $4.89 billion.

The numbers beat many analyst expectations.
Business Is Moving, Slowly but Surely
There’s no crazy boom in IT spending right now. But Infosys still managed to grow. That’s not easy in today’s environment. Global clients are spending carefully, and many IT firms are struggling to keep growth going. Infosys stayed in the game with smart wins.
In constant currency, revenue went up 3.8% compared to last year. From the last quarter, the jump was 2.6%. Not massive, but it keeps the engine running.
Margins Hold the Line
Margins came in at 20.8%. Slightly down, but nothing alarming. The company is still within its expected range of 20% to 22%. That’s a win.
Cash flow looked healthy too. Infosys pulled in around ₹7,533 crore in free cash. That’s actually more than the profit they booked. This strong cash position gives them breathing room.
The Real Win: Big Deals
Infosys signed deals worth $3.8 billion in Q1. That’s a big number. More than half of these came from new clients, which means they’re not just clinging to old accounts—they’re adding fresh business.
This is where Infosys seems to be playing smart. While others are cutting back, they’re going full throttle into AI, cloud, and digital services. That’s where clients are still spending.
CEO Salil Parekh said the AI push is paying off. He pointed to the strong deal momentum and the company’s focus on helping clients with digital change.
Updated Forecasts and What They Expect Next
The company is feeling slightly more upbeat about the rest of FY26. They had earlier forecast revenue growth of 0–3%. Now they’ve bumped that up to 1–3%. It’s not a huge change, but it shows they’re seeing more stability.
They’re keeping margin guidance steady. Costs are under control, and there’s no major shift in strategy.
The Team Behind It
Infosys now has around 3.24 lakh employees. Attrition—employees leaving—was at 14.4%. That’s better than what we’ve seen in earlier quarters. Fewer exits could mean a more stable team, which helps with delivery and client satisfaction.
Why It Matters
Infosys isn’t blowing the roof off with growth, but that’s okay. In today’s tough market, staying steady is a win. Clients still want help with automation, AI, and cost savings. Infosys is positioning itself right there.
Big deal wins show clients trust the brand. Strong cash flow means they can invest more. And a clear focus on what works—like enterprise AI and cloud—keeps them relevant.
Infosys may not be sprinting, but it’s moving with purpose. If the next few quarters stay on this track, FY26 could shape up well. Investors looking for stability and tech-led growth will be watching this story closely.
