Infosys share price chart on Moneycontrol shows gains of 5.26% at the time of writing:
The rally came after the tech giant reported its Q3 FY26 results and raised its full-year revenue growth guidance. The company now expects 3%-3.5% growth in constant currency terms, compared with its earlier estimate of 2%-3%. This guidance upgrade came as a surprise, especially when many global IT firms are still cautious about demand.
Infosys deal wins worth $4.8 billion during the quarter, a jump from $3.1 billion in the previous quarter. Moreover, about 57% of these deals were new contracts, showing fresh business coming in rather than renewals. This helped improve investor confidence in future growth potential.
Another positive signal was hiring. The tech company reported its highest headcount in 11 quarters. It added over 11,000 employees in two quarters. Investors often see higher hiring as a sign that companies expect stable or improving demand ahead.

Net profit for the quarter fell 9.7% year-on-year to Rs. 6,654 crore. The dip came on a one-time cost linked to labour code changes. However, the market largely looked past this decline. Investors focused more on revenue growth, deal activity, and guidance.
Adjusted operating margins stood at 21.2%, close to estimates, showing that costs remain under control despite the one-time impact. The stock’s TTM PE of 24.47 is below the sector average, which also supported buying interest.
Brokerages are optimistic about Infosys shares. Nomura reiterated its ‘Buy’ rating with a target price of Rs. 1,810. The brokerage cited early signs of discretionary demand recovery. Emkay Global also retained a ‘Buy’ call with a target of Rs. 1,750 for Inofsys share price. Hence, pointing to improving macro signals reflected in the company’s revised guidance.
For now, Infosys stock’s sharp 5.51% jump to Rs. 1,688 reflects renewed confidence in the stock. Investors will watch how deal conversion, margins, and demand trends play out in the coming quarters to see if the rally can hold.
