On Monday, shares of Infosys fell almost 2%, as the IT giant turned ex-dividend for its Rs. 23 per share interim dividend. The fall came even though broader indices traded in positive territory, showing that the move was largely technical following the adjustment for the record date.
Infosys’ stock fell below the Rs. 1,500 mark during the session, touching an intraday low of Rs. 1,498, down 1.79% from its previous close of Rs. 1,525.40.
As of 11:00 AM, the shares were trading at Rs. 1,512 on the NSE, down 0.87%. The overall market remained strong with gains on the benchmark indices.
Over the past 12 months, shares of Infosys have ranged from a 52-week high of Rs. 2,006.80 to a low of Rs. 1,307.10 as volatility in the IT sector has risen from changing global demand and macroeconomic uncertainty.
Infosys announced an interim dividend of Rs. 23 per share for FY26, with the record date set as October 24, 2025. The company confirmed that the dividend will be credited to eligible shareholders’ accounts on November 7, 2025.
Investors needed to purchase the shares on or before the record date to qualify, in line with India’s T+1 settlement system.
According to Trendlyne data, Infosys has a dividend yield of 4.37% and has distributed a total of Rs. 66 per share in the last 12 months. The IT giant has declared 50 dividends since May 2002, reinforcing its reputation for consistent shareholder returns.

Market experts believe that the current weakness in Infosys’ share price is a short-term reaction to the dividend adjustment rather than a signal of deeper trouble.
“Infosys appears to be forming a triple bottom pattern near Rs. 1,445, suggesting strong demand around this zone,” said Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investments. He added that a sustained hold above Rs. 1,420-Rs. 1,440 could trigger a recovery, targeting levels near Rs. 1,563 in the near term.
On the fundamental side, Infosys remains strong with steady earnings, robust cash flows, and an attractive dividend policy.
While uncertainties related to H-1B visa costs, softer global demand, and exposure to potential US tariffs remain, analysts view the recent dip as a post-dividend pause, rather than a structural change.
As promoters were not participating in the recent Rs. 18,000 crore buyback, Infosys continues to concentrate on shareholder value with dividend and buyback cycles. Investors may view this period as an opportunity to accumulate the stock at lower levels.
