Infosys ADRs Drop 7.5% After Trimming Revenue Growth Forecast
What happened
Infosys's American Depositary Receipts fell 7.5% in pre-market trading on October 23, 2026, after the company revised its revenue growth forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 to 1%-2%. This revision comes as the firm marginally beat revenue estimates for the September quarter. The weaker outlook reflects heightened concerns that companies are reducing spending on major information technology projects.

Why it matters
The forecast trim signals a broader demand slowdown among Indian IT giants, driven by global uncertainty and intensifying competition from AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic. While Infosys maintains its business is resilient, the trend suggests a shift in corporate spending away from traditional IT services.
