✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Infosys delivered a strong Q3 FY26 with constant currency revenue growth of 1.7% YoY and adjusted operating margin of 21.2%, expanding 20 bps sequentially. Large deal TCV was robust at $4.8 billion with 57% net new, including a $1.6B NHS deal. The company raised FY26 revenue guidance to 3%-3.5% (from 2%-3%), while maintaining margin guidance of 20%-22%. Growth was driven by Financial Services and Energy/Utilities, where discretionary spending is returning and AI adoption is accelerating. Management sees FY27 growth acceleration in these two verticals. AI momentum is strong with 4,600 projects and 500 agents built. Risks include tariff uncertainties impacting Manufacturing and Retail, and potential compression in legacy services due to AI-led productivity.
