Infosys announced its third-quarter financial results on Wednesday, revealing revenue that exceeded analyst expectations. The company's revenue for the October-December period reached 454.79 billion rupees ($5.04 billion), marking an 8.9% increase.
According to LSEG data, analysts had anticipated revenue of 452.27 billion rupees. The performance was supported by a pickup in technology demand from financial services clients.
Infosys revised its revenue growth forecast for the fiscal year ending 2026 upward to 3%-3.5%, from a previous estimate of 2%-3%. Three brokerages had expected the company to narrow the range to 2.5%-3%.
Revenue from the financial services segment, which makes up nearly one-third of total revenue, grew by 3.9%. The communications segment saw the highest rise at 9.9%.
Net profit for the quarter fell 2.2% to 66.54 billion rupees, below the 73.79 billion rupees analysts had expected. This includes a one-time impact of 12.89 billion rupees due to India's new labor codes enacted in November 2025.
Large order bookings, defined as deals over $30 million, totaled $4.8 billion during the quarter. This compares to $3.1 billion in the previous quarter and $2.5 billion in the same period a year ago.
Infosys secured AI-led deals with companies such as software giant Adobe and German conglomerate Siemens AG in 2025. The company also won a $1.6 billion deal with the UK's National Health Service in the reported quarter.
Last month, Accenture beat Wall Street estimates for its first-quarter revenue, driven by strong demand for AI-driven IT services. On Monday, peers Tata Consultancy Services and HCLTech both surpassed their revenue estimates, aided by AI-led demand.
