Answers
Simple answers to the questions investors ask most, from the company's own numbers.
How fast it has been growing
Sales grew 35.7% over the past year, and 15.9% a year over its longer record. Meanwhile what it keeps of every 100 rupees of sales improved from 17.4% to 18.6% over the last four years.
Whether it grew faster than its sector
It grew 15.9% a year against a sector median of 14.5% — 1.4 percentage points faster.
Room to re-rate, or risk of de-rating
At 41.9× earnings it costs 1.8× the market, which pays 23.9× across 2199 companies we can price. Its own industry sits at 14.0×, across 5 companies. It is against its own five-year median of 64.4×, the 13th percentile of its own range.
Whether growth justifies the valuation
Priced at 1.3 times its growth rate, on earnings growth of 33%.

Compared with companies filed under the same label. That grouping comes from the exchange's filing category, so some of them may not be real rivals.
How it compares with its peers
Against companies the exchange files under the same label (Computers - Software & Consulting), it ranks 21 of 53 on returns, 21 of 49 on growth, 30 of 52 on margin. That grouping comes from the exchange's filing category, so some of them may not be real rivals.
What makes it hard to beat — and is that still true?
A narrow advantage: it earns 23.5% on capital, ahead of 60% of companies filed under the same label. That grouping comes from the exchange's filing category, so some of them may not be real rivals.
Whether its growth pays for itself
Yes — Over the last five years it made ₹5648 crore of cash from the business, spent ₹1712 crore on plant and equipment, and returned ₹1020 crore to lenders and shareholders. And the profit is real: of every 100 rupees it reported over 12 years, about 118 arrived as cash (before interest, which is why it can exceed the profit). Its cash comes back faster than it used to: it went from being waiting 33 days for its cash to waiting 25 days for its cash.

The price as a Renko brick chart: small moves drop out so the bigger path stands out.
Every brick is the same size, about one typical day's move. A new brick needs a full brick's move; turning the other way needs two. Bricks show where the price went, not where it will go.

Infosys shares recover from 52-week low after ABN AMRO deal extension
Infosys extended its ABN AMRO bank deal and its shares rose 0.71% to Rs 1001.20 off a 52-week low, helping Infosys holders while rivals and suppliers gain nothing.
Who it hits first
- Infosys, a large software-services firm, extended its deal with Dutch bank ABN AMRO.
- Its shares traded at Rs 1001.20, up 0.71% (Rs 7.10) from the Rs 994.10 previous close, recovering from a 52-week low.
- The pack carries no deal value or tenure, so the size of the retained revenue is unknown.
Who may gain
- Infosys (software services): keeps ABN AMRO revenue and steadies off its 52-week low.
- ABN AMRO (Dutch bank client): keeps its existing vendor instead of a risky switch.
- Infosys shareholders who bought near the 52-week low: up 0.71% on the day.

ABN AMRO, the Dutch bank client, keeps its vendor; Infosys' listed downstream clients in the pack are two Indian banks, Axis Bank and ICICI Bank, whose own business this Dutch extension does not touch.
Upstream
Vendors that sell to Infosys — its listed suppliers in the pack — see no change, since extending an existing bank deal continues current work rather than placing new orders.
Where demand moves
Business
ABN AMRO keeps buying Infosys software services instead of rebidding the work — demand retained, not new — and no extra work flows to rivals or suppliers from an extension alone.
Capital
Investors nibbled Infosys up 0.71% off its 52-week low; there is no sympathy-buying case for peers since sector readthrough is nil.
How it spreads across sectors
Financial Services
None for the banks: ABN AMRO is not listed here and Infosys' Indian bank clients are untouched by a Dutch extension.
Information Technology
Negligible: a single retained deal lifts only Infosys (+0.71%); rivals gain no business and the pack flags sector readthrough false.
When it plays out
Immediate
Infosys steadies near Rs 1000 over 1-7 days as extension relief offsets the 52-week-low overhang; peers drift on their own news.
Medium term
European bank renewals and client budgets over 1-6 months decide whether Infosys re-rates beyond this relief bounce.
Short term
Without a disclosed deal value, the stock needs quarterly results or fresh wins in 1-4 weeks to extend the recovery.

US tightens H-1B rules again: How new fees and layoff scrutiny could affect Indian tech workers
The US added a $100,000 H-1B fee plus tougher checks, raising costs for Indian IT firms like Tata Consultancy Services and Infosys and hurting margins, with no clear winners.
Who it hits first
- The US has added a $100000 payment for certain new H-1B (US work visa) hires from abroad, plus extra employer fees, closer checks when US staff are laid off, and tougher enforcement.
- Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys and Wipro — India's large IT services firms that send engineers to work at US client offices — now pay more for each US placement and wait longer for approvals.
- H-1B sign-ups are already falling as firms move work to India or hire locally in America, which trims profit margins (profit left per rupee of sales) for the most US-linked firms.
Who may gain
- No clear winner among Indian IT firms — this is a cost rise for US-linked work, not new demand, so domestic cloud and software names only avoid the hit rather than gain.
Along the supply chain
Downstream
Big bank buyers of IT work such as State Bank of India and ICICI Bank, which hire Tata Consultancy Services and Infosys to run software, see no direct change — projects continue, just delivered more from India.
Upstream
Vendors that serve the big IT firms — Prestige Estates which rents office space, Tata Communications which provides network links, and staffing and facility helpers — see slower growth in US-site support as hiring tilts to India.
Where demand moves
Business
Client demand for software work does not grow or shrink — the same US projects simply cost more when they need staff on American sites, so more coding and support shifts to Indian delivery centres.
Capital
Investors grow cautious on export-heavy IT shares as margins look thinner, so money pauses or drifts to domestic-focused software names until firms show how much of the fee clients will bear.
How it spreads across sectors
Information Technology
Export-heavy IT services face higher US staffing costs and near-term margin pressure, while domestic software, map and cloud names feel only brief sentiment selling.
When it plays out
Immediate
In the next few days IT shares wobble and H-1B filings slow further as firms pause US hires.
Medium term
Over the next few months delivery settles with more offshore work and local US recruits, leaving a lasting small margin drag for the most US-exposed firms.
Short term
Over the next few weeks firms spell out extra costs, add Indian and US local hiring, and accept slightly thinner margins.

H-1B registrations plunge as Indian IT firms shift US staffing strategy
Higher US visa costs are pushing Indian IT firms toward local US hiring and offshore work, squeezing near-term margins for big exporters like TCS and Infosys while leaving domestic tech mostly unaffected.
Who it hits first
- Tata Consultancy Services (TCS, India's largest IT services exporter) and Infosys (IT services) face higher cost to place staff in the US as H-1B registrations plunge on higher visa costs.
- The shift toward hiring locally in the US and doing more work offshore in India trims near-term profit margins for visa-heavy exporters before any savings arrive.
- Mid-tier exporters like Tech Mahindra (telecom-focused IT services), Persistent Systems (software product engineering) and Coforge (IT services) face the same margin squeeze on US onsite work.
Who may gain
- No clear winner inside Indian IT — this is a cost shock that squeezes exporters rather than creating new demand.
- India-based cloud and data-center providers like E2E Networks (India cloud provider) could see a mild lift if more work shifts offshore, but the pack shows no direct order link.
Along the supply chain
Downstream
Downstream bank customers the graph lists — State Bank of India and Indian Bank for TCS, Axis Bank and ICICI Bank for Infosys — see no direct disruption, only possible slower pass-through of vendor cost pressure in future contracts.
Upstream
Upstream staffing, travel and office-support vendors that the graph lists as suppliers to TCS and to Infosys see slower onsite ramp as fewer staff move on visas.
Where demand moves
Business
US clients still need the software work but resist paying more, so Indian vendors absorb higher local-hire costs while bidding more offshore delivery from India.
Capital
Investors turn cautious on visa-heavy large caps like Tata Consultancy Services and Infosys near-term, with no fresh capital inflow into the sector from this news.
How it spreads across sectors
Financial Services
Muted second-order effect — banks that buy IT services may face slightly higher contract costs later, with no immediate disruption.
Information Technology
Near-term margin pressure across exporters as US staffing costs rise; offshore-heavy work cushions revenue but not margins.
When it plays out
Immediate
1-7 days: IT exporter shares stay soft on margin worries; no contract cancellations expected.
Medium term
1-6 months: higher US payroll and offshore ramp costs show in results; firms with stronger pricing power recover first.
Short term
1-4 weeks: firms outline local-hiring and offshore plans; analysts trim near-term margin forecasts.

Coforge Appoints Akhil Gupta As Chairperson Days After Key Board Exits
Coforge named Akhil Gupta as Chairperson after board exits, which slightly helps Coforge shareholders as leadership steadies and hurts no one directly.
Who it hits first
- Coforge, the mid-sized IT services firm, filled its top board seat by naming Akhil Gupta as Chairperson days after key board exits.
- This appointment aims to calm Coforge investors by showing steady leadership while the firm pushes deeper into AI and enterprise transformation work.
- Rival IT firms such as Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, HCL Technologies and Tech Mahindra face no direct order or cost change from this board move.
Who may gain
- Coforge shareholders — steadier leadership after board exits supports confidence
- Akhil Gupta — takes the Chairperson role at a large IT firm
Along the supply chain
Downstream
No direct downstream change — Coforge's enterprise customers face no price, delivery or contract shift from a Chairperson change, so downstream demand and timelines stay flat.
Upstream
No direct upstream change — the two firms linked as suppliers to Coforge see no new orders, since a Chairperson hire does not raise tech spending.
Where demand moves
Business
No new business demand is created — a Chairperson appointment moves no IT budgets or outsourcing deals; enterprise clients of Coforge see no change in projects or prices near term.
Capital
Capital steadies around Coforge as a named Chairperson lowers governance worry after board exits, likely drawing modest dip-buying, while rival IT stocks see no capital rotation from this news.
How it spreads across sectors
Information Technology
Near flat — a single firm's board appointment does not move sector budgets, hiring or pricing; only sentiment steadies for Coforge itself.
When it plays out
Immediate
Coforge steadies as investors welcome a named Chairperson; shares likely inch up slightly while rival IT names stay flat.
Medium term
Coforge's AI and enterprise transformation execution decides the payoff; rivals move only on their own deals, not this appointment.
Short term
Focus shifts to who left the board and what Gupta says about AI plans; any further exits would undo the calm.

Persistent Systems Arm Raises Nagarro Stake To 83.25%, Aims To Delist From Frankfurt Stock Exchange
Persistent Systems is buying more of Nagarro to own 83.25% and delist it, which helps Persistent tighten control while IT rivals see no gain or loss.
Who it hits first
- Persistent Systems, an IT services company, is raising its holding in Nagarro to 83.25% through its arm.
- It plans to remove Nagarro shares from Frankfurt trading (a delist), moving toward full ownership and simpler control.
- The move uses cash for the buyout but lets Persistent fully steer Nagarro and combine its results.
Who may gain
- Persistent Systems gains tighter control and future profit pooling from owning 83.25% of Nagarro.
- Nagarro minority holders may get a buyout offer as part of the Frankfurt delisting.
- IT rivals see no direct benefit since no client work or orders shift to them.
Along the supply chain
Downstream
Downstream, Persistent Systems lists no direct customers in this pack and Nagarro clients face no change, so no downstream demand shifts.
Upstream
Upstream, firms that supply Persistent Systems — SMARTWORKS and UDS for offices and facilities, ZAGGLE for expense tools — get no extra orders because buying shares does not use more office or support services.
Where demand moves
Business
No new business demand is created — this is an ownership change, not a fresh client order, so no extra work flows to Persistent or its peers.
Capital
Capital flows from Persistent to Nagarro minority holders for the extra shares, with mild positive sentiment for Persistent shares and no capital rotation to other IT names.
How it spreads across sectors
Information Technology
Peers like Infosys, TCS and others see no demand change; only light sentiment that Indian IT is consolidating, with no earnings impact.
When it plays out
Immediate
Persistent shares react to the 83.25% stake and delist aim; Nagarro minorities assess the offer.
Medium term
If delisted, Persistent consolidates Nagarro fully; integration progress drives any lasting gain.
Short term
Delist terms, funding and German approvals come into focus; peers drift with the market.
