Infosys: Rating Downgrade As The Path To Recovery Got Murkier

  • I downgrade INFY to hold as macro headwinds and weak North America growth cloud the recovery outlook, despite strong execution. Management's cautious tone and minimal hiring suggest limited near-term growth, making a sharp acceleration to 10% by FY26 unlikely. Large deal wins and strong European growth are positives, but sector and geographic demand remain uneven, constraining upside.
