Sales grew 13.7% over the past year, and 11.4% a year over its longer record. Meanwhile what it keeps of every 100 rupees of sales improved from 17.6% to 18.6% over the last four years.
Whether it grew faster than its sector

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 24 of 53 on returns, 34 of 49 on growth, 26 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 22.1% on capital, ahead of 55% 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 ₹8516 crore of cash from the business, spent ₹698 crore on plant and equipment, and returned ₹5451 crore to lenders and shareholders. And the profit is real: of every 100 rupees it reported over 12 years, about 103 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 13 days for its cash to paid 19 days before it paid its own suppliers.

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.
Along the supply chain
Downstream
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.

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.

'Count your days': US Labor Department ramps up H-1B fraud probe amid increased scrutiny
The US is widening its H-1B visa-fraud crackdown with surprise inspections, raising staffing costs for Indian IT firms like TCS and Infosys, while US rivals hiring locally gain a small edge.
Who it hits first
- US Labour Department widens H-1B fraud probe beyond tech firms, with surprise site inspections and whistleblower tips targeting employers, recruiters and labour brokers.
- Indian IT majors with large US onsite workforces (TCS, Infosys, HCLTech, Wipro, Tech Mahindra, Persistent, Coforge, Mphasis, LTTS) face higher visa-compliance costs and possible deployment delays.
- Severity is modest: no new fee, ban or quota - only broader enforcement of existing rules, playing out over months.
Who may gain
- Large compliant IT firms may gain share if small staffing brokers and body-shops get barred from the H-1B program.
- US-based rivals hiring locally face no such overhang; firms with the highest US localization (TCS, Infosys) are relatively insulated.
Along the supply chain
Downstream
US clients could face minor project delays if onsite staff are pulled for inspection; no major disruption expected.
Upstream
US immigration-law firms and visa-compliance vendors see more business; small Indian staffing subcontractors to big IT firms face audit risk.
Where demand moves
Business
No client demand destroyed yet; risk is onsite staffing friction that could delay project starts or push more work offshore to India delivery centres.
Capital
Visa headlines typically trigger a day or two of foreign-investor selling across big IT stocks (Infosys has 27% FII); money rotates to domestic-facing sectors, with no broad sector derating expected.
How it spreads across sectors
Information Technology
Mild negative overhang on exporters with big US onsite exposure; compliance-cost and sentiment channel, roughly 1-2% stock impact.
Staffing and recruitment
Unlisted labour brokers most at risk if named; listed IT firms are second-order.
When it plays out
Immediate
Headline selling on IT majors for 1-2 sessions, roughly 1-2% downside.
Medium term
If the probe names a major or bars firms, reprice; otherwise fades like prior curbs.
Short term
Watch for named firms in DOL actions and visa-cost commentary in Q2 earnings (October).

US proposes ending 60-day H-1B grace period and suspends Cognizant green-card filings; senators target India cyber firms
America is tightening work visas for Indians and pausing some green cards, raising costs and uncertainty for IT firms that send staff onsite.
Who it hits first
- IT firms with high onsite ratios (Tech Mahindra, Mphasis, Coforge) face visa-cost and staffing risk
- Cognizant's filing suspension signals broader scrutiny of IT hiring practices
- Cyber-firm allegations add headline risk to India-US tech ties
Who may gain
- Product and GCC-led firms with low visa dependence gain relative share
- Domestic-focused IT (Tata Tech) sidesteps US immigration risk
Along the supply chain
Downstream
US clients face slower staff ramp-ups; project starts stretch by weeks.
Upstream
No supply-chain link — a labour-mobility and cost event for services exporters.
Where demand moves
Business
Onsite deployment gets costlier and slower; firms accelerate local hiring and nearshoring; deal pricing absorbs visa overhead with a lag.
Capital
Money trims high-onsite mid-tier IT and rotates to diversified large-caps (TCS, Infosys) with local workforces.
How it spreads across sectors
Information Technology
onsite-heavy firms face 1-2% margin drag; large-caps absorb via pyramid
When it plays out
Immediate
IT stocks gap down on visa headlines; high-onsite names fall most.
Medium term
Structural shift to local hiring raises US delivery cost permanently; automation offsets partly.
Short term
Watch comment-period outcome, Cognizant resolution, and Q3 management commentary on visa costs.

IT Q1 divergence: Tech Mahindra beats with margin expansion and third straight $1bn deal-win quarter; Wipro profit flat with margins at 15-quarter low
Who it hits first
- TECHM: revenue +17.6% YoY to Rs 15,711 cr, PAT +31.6% to Rs 1,486 cr with margin EXPANSION and a third straight $1bn+ deal-win quarter; salary hikes from Q2
- WIPRO: revenue +10.6% YoY to Rs 24,479 cr but PAT flat at Rs 3,352 cr (-4.3% sequentially) with operating margin at a 15-quarter low; Q2 guidance improved to $2.57-2.63bn; Rs 2 interim dividend
Who may gain
- TECHM on relative execution -- it took share of the same demand pool Wipro is struggling to convert profitably
- INFY as the best quality-vs-value expression of a stabilising demand backdrop: ROE 31.9 and ROCE 40.0 against a PE of 14.4
Along the supply chain
Downstream
Downstream clients are the global enterprises buying discretionary and vendor-consolidation deals. TechM's third straight $1bn+ deal-win quarter and Wipro's improved Q2 guidance of $2.57-2.63bn both indicate downstream budgets are holding rather than contracting. No client-side demand destruction is visible in either print, which is precisely why the sector-wide margin-pressure reading was rejected in the Layer 8 debate.
Upstream
The binding upstream input for IT services is talent, not materials. Tech Mahindra is rolling out salary hikes from Q2 and had previously held back hiring for lack of revenue visibility, so the restored visibility is now pulling wage cost back into the model. That is the sector's real input-cost channel and it caps TechM's margin-expansion runway. Wipro faces the same wage base while already at a 15-quarter-low margin, leaving it less room to bid for talent.
Where demand moves
Business
Both results point to the same conclusion: the IT demand pool is stable and the differentiation is execution, not the market. TechM converted that pool into $1bn+ of deal wins for a third consecutive quarter while Wipro grew revenue 10.6% only by conceding margin down to a 15-quarter low. Business is therefore flowing WITHIN the sector -- vendor-consolidation deals moving toward suppliers who can price and staff them profitably -- rather than into or out of Indian IT as a whole. TechM's Q2 salary hikes are the cost of defending that share.
How it spreads across sectors
IT Services
Stable demand pool with execution separating winners; wage cost returning via salary hikes caps margin expansion
Information Technology
Read-across is sector-positive on demand, sector-neutral on margin; mid-caps carry the wage cost without large-cap pricing power
When it plays out
Immediate
TechM re-rates on the beat (+5.9% over the past week already); Wipro derates on the margin miss but is cushioned by improved guidance and a cheap multiple.
Medium term
Wage inflation from the sector-wide return of salary hikes is the structural margin risk; TechM's deal-win streak converts to revenue over two to four quarters.
Short term
Infosys, TCS and HCL Tech results are the confirmation catalysts. If they corroborate stable demand, the Wipro margin print is confirmed as company-specific and the sector re-rates.

HCL Technologies bags $1.14bn AI mega-deal; Nifty IT rallies ~3%, sector sentiment reverses
Who it hits first
- HCL Technologies wins a ~$1.14bn AI/GenAI mega-deal — direct order-book and multi-year revenue uplift (stock +6-7%)
- Nifty IT index rose ~3% as large-cap IT re-rated on the demand-recovery read-through
Who may gain
- Tier-1 peers Infosys and TCS gain on sector read-through and their own AI-deal pipelines
- Mid-caps Mphasis, Persistent, Coforge and LTIMindtree ride the sentiment rally
Along the supply chain
Downstream
The deal's overseas enterprise client gains delivery capacity — this is an export-services win with no adverse Indian downstream link.
Upstream
Upstream talent/subcontractor and hyperscaler cloud-infra suppliers see incremental demand as HCL ramps delivery; no listed Indian upstream is directly affected.
Where demand moves
Business
Enterprise AI/GenAI transformation budgets flow to HCL as the contract winner, with spillover read-through demand to Tier-1 peers (Infosys, TCS) bidding for similar programs.
Capital
Capital rotates back INTO Indian IT after an ~18-year-worst drawdown; large-caps (HCLTECH, INFY, TCS) absorb institutional inflows first, quality mid-caps follow.
How it spreads across sectors
IT Services
demand-recovery re-rating led by the deal winner
Information Technology
mid-cap IT sentiment lift on 'worst is over' narrative
When it plays out
Immediate
HCLTECH +6-7%, Nifty IT +3% on the deal and sentiment reversal
Medium term
Sustained AI-led demand could re-rate the sector off multi-year-low multiples if TCV growth persists
Short term
