Infosys Share Declines after Weak Guidance from Accenture Fuels Earnings Concern

Industry analysts estimate that approximately 15-20% of cloud migration contracts are awarded to IT service providers.

On June 23, Infosys shares traded in the red in the early hours after unsatisfactory revenue guidance from US tech Accenture raised earnings concerns for the Indian software giant.


Accenture reported a 5% YoY growth in revenue on a constant currency basis for May end, yet the firm still cut its full-year growth guidance, dropping the upper end by 100 bps.
Accenture’s earnings raised concerns of a moderation in deal bookings, shimmering a weak demand environment which hurt sentiment for domestic IT players, including Infosys.


At 9:21 am, Infosys shares were trading at Rs 1,270.15 on the NSE, down around 1% from the previous close.

Despite near-term weakness in demand, MOFSL relics positive on the long-term forecasts of the company and IT services could perceive a strong bounce-back as the macro environment stabilises.


The brokerage firm also sees Infosys as an attractive ‘buy’ at its existing valuation after the stock modified around 30% from its peak succeeding weak earnings in the current quarters.
