Sector Alpha Week of 2026-07-24
Sector Alpha — machine-written from the numbers · Data as of 2026-07-24

Infosys Ltd

INFY
IT - Software

Infosys Ltd's earnings have outrun its stock. EPS grew +12.9% in a year against a −30.9% price move.

The sharpest disagreement: annual EPS moved +12.9% against a −30.9% price move — the market has not yet caught up with the delivery.

The price is in a downtrend (21 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 0th percentile of its own 10-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +12.3% year on year, and 115% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether the price catches up with earnings that have already moved.

Withheld from this page: Part of this page is deliberately not drawn: its second data source reports in USD, not rupees, so nothing from it can be placed on this crore axis, so nothing from the second source is placed here — the PEG ratio and its quarterly curve, the quarterly return curves, the annual return-on-invested-capital overlay, the total-debt and debt-to-equity series and the F-score, the Z-score and the return-on-invested-capital reading are absent for that reason. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data. The quarterly history also begins where the primary source begins: 6 earlier quarters the second source carries are not spliced in front of it. Extending a reported profit series is stricter than showing a ratio chart — it needs a source that has been checked.
01 · Price story

Price story Before the numbers, the tape. A stock price moves through four repeating seasons: a flat base (stage 1), an advance (2), a top (3), a decline (4). Where the price sits in that cycle frames everything below.

Infosys Ltd trades at ₹1,097, in a downtrend and 21 weeks into that stage. That is −17.0% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 16% of a 52-week range of ₹985 to ₹1,690. On relative strength it is currently behind the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view (29 weeks and counting).

Today the stock is in a downtrend — week 21 of stage 4, confirmed. At ₹1,097 it trades −17.0% versus its 200-day average and sits at 16% of its 52-week range (₹985–₹1,690).

Jul 26: ₹1,097 Weekly closing price (₹) with 50- and 200-day averages; shaded bands mark the price stage (grey base, green advance, amber top, red decline). 3-year window.

trailing 13-week return vs the NIFTY 500
Mar 16Jul 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.3 years the stock moved +92% while the NIFTY 500 moved +274% — behind the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (29 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-02-06) — the ribbon below is that same metric, week by week.

What would end the trend, mechanically: two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day line. That is the exit rule — no debates.

→ The trend is one thing; the bill is another. Are you paying up for it? Next: the P/E sits at the 0th percentile of its own range.

02 · Valuation

Valuation P/E is the price of ₹1 of annual profit: how many rupees the market pays for each rupee the company earns in a year.

Infosys Ltd trades at 13.6× P/E, about the cheapest it has ever traded. Its long-run median P/E is 22.5×, measured across 10.4 years of weekly readings. This places the multiple against the stock’s own record, and says nothing about what the business is worth.

Today's P/E of 13.6× is about the cheapest it has ever traded, against a long-run median of 22.5× measured over 10.4 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

P/E 13.6× vs a 22.5× long-run median P/E, weekly (left axis); earnings per share, trailing twelve months, weekly (right axis). 10.4-year window; loss-period spikes above 36× shown pinned at the top. The eps (ttm) bars are red where the reading is lower than the quarter before.

0th percentile of 10y

Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved +12.9% against a −30.9% price move — earnings outran the price, pushing the multiple DOWN its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the −6.8%/yr price move, ~+10.0%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−16.8 pp from the multiple (compressing); over 10y, of the +7.4%/yr price move, ~+9.7%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−2.3 pp from the multiple (compressing). The split is the honest approximate (price return minus earnings growth); it makes the rally itself visible instead of hiding it behind the percentile.

Put together: the multiple is low against its own past, so the story rests on the earnings line underneath it, not the multiple.

The PEG ratio and its quarterly curve, which only the second data source carries, are not drawn on this page: its second data source reports in USD, not rupees, so nothing from it can be placed on this crore axis. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data.

→ Cheap or dear rides on the earnings. Are they actually growing? Next: the fundamental stage — where the business sits in its arc, and how growth has compounded.

03 · Stage: Consistent

Stage: Consistent Every business sits somewhere on a fundamental arc, and this page names the spot before anything else. The last twelve quarters of revenue, profit and EPS growth — plus the return the business earns on its capital — are read as curves: Deteriorating (the curves are falling), Turning around (a trough has just formed and the last few quarters lift off it), Improving (the climb off the trough is sustained), Consistent (steadily positive with healthy returns), Topping out (still high but decelerating from the peak). When the curves genuinely disagree the read is Mixed; too little history is No read. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the smooth yearly pace that turns the starting value into the latest one — the fairest way to compare growth across different time spans. Read the columns together: if the 1-year number towers over the 10-year, recent growth is running hotter than the long-run trend. A dash means that window is not held, or the base year was a loss (where a growth rate is not meaningful).

Infosys Ltd reads as consistent on its fundamental arc. Consistent — revenue, profit and EPS growth have stayed positive through the window, with ROCE at 40.0% and holding. The read is built from 8 quarters across 4 curves, on partial evidence.

Three growth curves, twelve quarters Year-on-year growth of trailing-twelve-month revenue (left axis), profit and EPS (right axis — they swing far wider), % at each quarter-end. A missing point means that reading is not held for the quarter.

Why it matters: steady curves with healthy returns are the compounding setup — the risk is the price, not the business.

Return readings here are annual, not quarterly — read as level and direction only; they can confirm the growth curves but never drive the stage on their own.

A partial read: at least one curve is short, or the returns curve is not the computed quarterly series — hold the stage word a little more loosely.

04 · 4-Factor Sector Score

4-Factor Sector Score

53.6/100 — rank 23 of 63 in IT - Software · 83% evidence confidence

Infosys Ltd scores 53.6 out of 100 against the 63 companies it is compared with in IT - Software, ranking 23. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 18.1 + 18.9 + 14.2 + 2.4 = 53.6. This is the SAME number shown on the sector comparison — it is computed once, for the whole peer set, and read here.

What would change it: The read weakens if profit growth turns negative or margin improvement reverses while sector-relative strength deteriorates.

05 · Revenue

Revenue Revenue is the top line: everything the company billed its customers in the period.

Infosys Ltd reported ₹48,211 Cr of revenue in the Jun 26 quarter, +14.0% year on year. That is the 11th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 10 years it has compounded at 11.1% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹1,78,650 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹1,84,582 Cr.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +11.2% growth against the decade's 11.1% — the current year is running in line with its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +11.2% over the last 4 quarters against +9.1%/yr over the last 8 — stabilising; TTM profit +11.1% vs +6.6%/yr — accelerating.

→ Revenue grew — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: 24.0% this quarter (+0.0 pp YoY).

06 · Operating margin

Operating margin Operating margin is what is left of every ₹100 of sales after running the business, before interest and tax. It is the cleanest read on pricing power and cost control.

Infosys Ltd's operating margin is 24.0% in the Jun 26 quarter, +0.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 24.0% to 28.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

Infosys Ltd's operating margin is 24.0% in the Jun 26 quarter, +0.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 24.0% to 28.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 24.0%, +0.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 24.0%–28.0%.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +0.1 pp year on year while gross margin went +0.0 pp — the gain came mostly below the gross line: operating leverage, with costs spread over a bigger revenue base.

07 · Net profit

Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.

Infosys Ltd earned ₹7,775 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter, +12.3% year on year. It is the 2nd consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹29,474 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 8.1%. That is 16.1% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹6,924 Cr.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +14.0% and the margin +0.0 pp — the quarter was revenue-led, with the margin roughly flat.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +11.0% vs revenue +11.2%. Profit and revenue are moving roughly in step.

→ Profit rose — but did the cash follow? Next: 115% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash.

08 · Cash flow — the router

Cash flow — the router The P&L says what was earned; the cash-flow statement says what actually arrived. Operating cash flow (CFO) against profit is the cleanest lie detector in the accounts.

Over the last 3 fiscal years 115% of Infosys Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY26 that was ₹33,986 Cr of operating cash against ₹29,474 Cr of profit. After ₹7,423 Cr of capital spending, ₹26,563 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹33,986 Cr against reported profit of ₹29,474 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹26,563 Cr after ₹7,423 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 115% of profit.

Cash-flow readings here are annual — that is the resolution our series carries, so this section moves once a year.

Why conversion sits at 115%: the cash cycle held roughly steady between FY21 and FY26 — so conversion tracks profitability rather than the cycle.

Router verdict: no single sink dominates — the next section checks both the working-capital cycle and the capital spending.

→ So follow the cash to where it goes. Next: a 72-day cycle and ₹19,175 Cr of building.

09 · Where the cash goes

Where the cash goes Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid: debtor days (customers owe), inventory days (stock waits), and the cash conversion cycle (the whole loop, in days of sales).

Infosys Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 72 days in FY26, up from 70 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹19,175 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹1,78,650 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹489 Cr, so roughly ₹35,241 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 72 days (an asset-light business — no inventory to speak of) — for a full cycle of 72 days, looser than FY21's 70.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹1,78,650 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹489 Cr — so the 72-day loop keeps roughly ₹35,241 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹19,175 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹14,392 Cr of depreciation — building somewhat ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹526 Cr (FY26) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.

FY26: capex ₹7,423 Cr, work-in-progress ₹526 Cr Capital spending per fiscal year, ₹ Cr (bars); capital work-in-progress, ₹ Cr (line). Quarterly capital-spending history is not held for India — annual is the honest resolution.

The synthesis: neither the cycle nor the build-out is hoarding the cash — the machine is reasonably clean.

→ Does all this activity actually earn its cost of capital? Next: ROCE is 40%.

10 · Return on capital

Return on capital Return on capital employed (ROCE) is the profit the whole business earns on all the money in it — equity and debt together. It is the single best test of whether growth creates value or just size.

Infosys Ltd earns a ROCE of 40% in FY26. That is up from a trough of 30% in FY17. A return-on-invested-capital spread against the cost of capital is not computable from what is held here. The wiring behind it is 16.5% net margin on 1.16× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 40%, recovered from a FY17 trough of 30% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 16.5% net margin × 1.16× asset turns × 1.66× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 31.8% on equity. Margin is doing the heavy lifting; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.

Debt Debt-to-equity says how much of the business is funded by borrowings; interest cover says how many times operating profit pays the interest bill. Low and high, respectively, is the safe corner.

Infosys Ltd carries ₹9,176 Cr of borrowings against ₹92,852 Cr of equity in FY26, a debt-to-equity of 0.10. Operating profit covers the interest bill north of 100×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹5,325 Cr to ₹9,176 Cr. Capital spending ran ₹19,175 Cr across the last 3 of those years.

FY26: borrowings of ₹9,176 Cr against equity of ₹92,852 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.10. Operating profit covers the interest bill north of 100×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹5,325 Cr to ₹9,176 Cr while capital spending ran ₹19,175 Cr in just the last 3 — part of the build-out is riding on borrowed money.

The total-debt and debt-to-equity series, which only the second data source carries, are not drawn on this page: its second data source reports in USD, not rupees, so nothing from it can be placed on this crore axis. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data.

→ Who owns this, and are they adding or leaving? Next: Foreign institutions cut 5.7 points over 8 quarters.

12 · Ownership

Ownership Who owns the stock, quarter by quarter: promoters (the controlling owners), foreign and domestic institutions, and the public. Steady accumulation by people close to the numbers is a signal; a quiet register is also an answer.

Foreign institutions cut 5.7 points of Infosys Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes foreign institutions to 27.1% of the company. Domestic institutions moved +5.5 points over the same window, to 42.8%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Foreign institutions: −5.7 points over 8 quarters to 27.1%; Domestic institutions: +5.5 points over 8 quarters to 42.8%; Promoters: −0.8 points over 8 quarters to 13.8%. Note the structure: promoters hold under 20% — this is a widely-held company where institutions, not a family, set the direction.

Why the register moved: rotation — foreign institutions −5.7 points against domestic institutions +5.5 points over 8 quarters, with promoters −0.8 points — one class of institutions handing the register to the other, not a verdict change by the people closest to the numbers.

Fiscal-year ends: promoters −0.3 pts from Mar 24 to Mar 26 Shareholding at each fiscal-year end (March quarter), % of the company. 3 year-ends held.

→ One last check: does the safety math agree? Next: the balance-sheet safety line.

13 · Safety line

Safety line The Z-score estimates how far a company sits from balance-sheet distress — above roughly 3 is safe, below roughly 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not applied to banks and lenders.

Infosys Ltd: the Z-score is withheld — it comes from the second data source this page could not reconcile, and a solvency score is not worth printing on a number two sources dispute. It is a distance-to-distress estimate from the balance sheet, not a forecast of failure.

The safety line in one sentence: the Z-score is withheld — it comes from the second data source this page could not reconcile, and a solvency score is not worth printing on a number two sources dispute.

Related companies · same sector · IT - Software Every company is compared on the shape of its own curves, not static ratios. The Revenue, EPS and ROCE columns each draw that company's last 12 quarters as a mini line of the ACTUAL level (trailing-twelve-month revenue and EPS, and the ROCE itself) — so a line that climbs is a business getting bigger, a line that sinks is one shrinking. The colour tracks the same line: green when it is rising or steadily healthy, amber when it is rolling over from a high (still elevated but turning down), red when it is falling, grey when flat or stuck. Colour and direction always agree — a green line never points down. The ROCE curve is the return on capital (annual readings for peers, so a slightly coarser line than the quarterly one at the top of this page). The Stage column then runs the same 12-quarter trajectory classifier used at the top of the page on each company and names where it sits. What lands a company in each bucket: CONSISTENT — growth stays positive across the window and returns are healthy (ROCE ≥ 15%, or ROE ≥ 12% for lenders); IMPROVING — profit or EPS fell into real decline, bottomed a few quarters back, and has climbed back to positive and held there; TURNING AROUND — the same kind of trough but more recent, with the latest quarters just lifting off it (an early, unconfirmed turn); TOPPING OUT — growth is still positive but decelerating hard from its own peak while returns have stopped rising; DETERIORATING — two or more growth curves are shrinking (latest below zero) and staying there, not one soft quarter; MIXED — the curves genuinely disagree, or no clean majority, so no single word fits; NO READ — fewer than eight usable quarters. It is a like-for-like read of every company against its own past, not a ranking against the group.

What is Infosys Ltd's capex?

Infosys Ltd spent ₹19,175 Cr on capital expenditure over the last 3 fiscal years, a figure derived from the change in fixed assets plus depreciation. In FY26 alone that was ₹7,423 Cr, with ₹526 Cr in capital work-in-progress — capacity paid for but not yet earning. — as of 24 July 2026.

What could break the Infosys Ltd story?

The sharpest disagreement: annual EPS moved +12.9% against a −30.9% price move — the market has not yet caught up with the delivery. Mechanically, two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day average would end the price trend — that is the exit rule this page tracks — as of 24 July 2026.

Is Infosys Ltd a stock worth studying right now?

This is not investment advice. The machine read: Infosys Ltd's earnings have outrun its stock. EPS grew +12.9% in a year against a −30.9% price move. The sharpest open question: whether the price catches up with earnings that have already moved. Every number on this page is drawn deterministically from the raw series, with no forecasts and no price opinions — as of 24 July 2026.
