Infosys Ltd, the Indian tech giant, posted a 4.7% increase in net profit for the second quarter (Q2) of the fiscal year 2024, ending in September. The company’s net profit reached Rs 6,506 crore, compared to Rs 6,212 crore during the same period last year. This steady rise in profitability reflects the company’s ongoing growth and strong performance in the IT sector.
Alongside its profit growth, Infosys declared an interim dividend of Rs 21 per share. The company has set October 29 as the record date for the dividend, with the payout scheduled for November 8. This move is expected to reward shareholders and bolster investor confidence as Infosys continues to expand its market share globally.
Revenue for the quarter also saw a notable increase, rising by 5.1% year-over-year to Rs 40,986 crore from Rs 38,994 crore in the previous year. This growth highlights Infosys’ ability to consistently deliver strong financial results despite fluctuating market conditions and global economic uncertainties. The company’s diverse portfolio of IT services and solutions has helped maintain steady revenue streams.
Looking ahead, Infosys has revised its revenue guidance for the fiscal year 2025, raising its growth forecast to a range of 3.75-4.5%. This upward revision is largely attributed to the company’s success in securing mega deals during the quarter, which are expected to drive significant growth in the coming months. Previously, Infosys had forecasted a more modest revenue growth of 3-4% for FY25.
The strong financial performance and optimistic outlook for FY25 reaffirm Infosys’ position as a leader in the global IT services market. With a focus on digital transformation, cloud services, and large-scale enterprise deals, the company remains well-positioned to capitalize on future growth opportunities and maintain its upward trajectory.
