For the June 2024 quarter, StoxBox Head (Research) Manish Chowdhury said, “Infosys’ revenue growth is expected to rebound to 3 per cent sequentially in CC terms due to the ramp-up of large deals won in FY24. We expect modest margin expansion led by strong growth and operational efficiencies.”
A large deal of TCV (total contract value) is expected to be robust in Q1. The focus will be translating revenues from large deals signed in earlier quarters into revenues, he added.

“We await management commentary on any tweaks to FY25 revenue growth guidance and the discretionary spending environment, especially in impacted verticals, senior management attrition, and translating mega deals into revenues,” Chowdhury said.
Infosys expects a revenue growth of 1-3 per cent in constant currency for financial year 2024-25.
According to Motilal Oswal, Infosys is expected to see a rebound in revenue growth to 2.0 per cent quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) CC, on account of the ramp-up of large deals won in FY24. Motilal Oswal expects the deal TCV to be robust in Q1; however, deals should be skewed towards the cost-takeout initiatives.
The operating margin for Infosys in Q1 is expected to increase by 30 basis points, supported by growth momentum and the absence of wage hikes. Infosys’ operating margin is likely to reach 20.4%. The company is also likely to maintain its growth guidance of 1-3% in constant currency for FY25, according to Motilal Oswal.
