Infosys reported Q4 FY24 revenue flat YoY in constant currency, with operating margin at 20.1% (down 40bps QoQ) due to a one-time ~100bps impact from a financial services contract rescoping. Full-year revenue grew 1.4% CC, with operating margin of 20.7%. Large deal TCV hit a record $17.7B for FY24, including $4.5B in Q4. Management guided FY25 revenue growth of 1%-3% CC and operating margin of 20%-22%, citing persistent discretionary spending weakness offset by large deal ramp-ups. GenAI traction is early but promising, with 3M+ lines of code generated. Key risk: discretionary demand may remain subdued, delaying revenue conversion from record deal wins.
इन्फोसिस ने चौथी तिमाही में पिछले साल के मुकाबले कमाई में कोई बढ़ोतरी नहीं दिखाई। मुनाफा 20.1% रहा, जो पिछली तिमाही से थोड़ा कम है। इसकी वजह एक बड़े ग्राहक के कॉन्ट्रैक्ट में बदलाव था। पूरे साल कमाई 1.4% बढ़ी और मुनाफा 20.7% रहा। कंपनी ने रिकॉर्ड 17.7 अरब डॉलर के बड़े डील जीते, जिसमें चौथी तिमाही में 4.5 अरब डॉलर शामिल हैं। अगले साल कमाई 1-3% बढ़ने और मुनाफा 20-22% रहने का अनुमान है। कंपनी ने कहा कि ग्राहक खर्च में कमी कर रहे हैं, लेकिन बड़े डील से मदद मिलेगी। जनरेटिव एआई में शुरुआती सफलता मिली है, 30 लाख से ज्यादा कोड लाइनें बनाई गईं। मुख्य जोखिम: ग्राहकों का खर्च कम रह सकता है, जिससे डील से कमाई होने में देरी होगी।
