Infosys had raised the 2024-25 fiscal year revenue guidance to 4.5-5 per cent, up from 3.75-4.50 per cent.

Revenues for the quarter under review came in at ₹409.25 billion (£3.62bn), 7.9 per cent higher from ₹379.23 billion (£3.36bn) crore in Q4 FY24.

Sequentially, the company’s profits rose 3.3 per cent, but revenues declined 2 per cent.

“We have built a resilient organisation with a sharp focus on client-centricity and responsiveness to the market, thanks to the trust of our clients and dedication of our employees,” Infosys CEO and MD Salil Parekh said.

He, however, noted that recent tariff measures introduced by US president Donald Trump could impact Infosys’s consulting business in the consumer packaged goods segment.
