AI Could Account For Half Of Infosys' Revenue In 2-3 Years; CEO Warns Of Infra Backlash Extending To India
Infosys flagged a risk in an infrastructure development.
· NDTV Profit
Infosys CEO Salil Parekh sees AI rising to 50% of the company's work in 2-3 years, while warning that data centre costs and infrastructure backlash could pose risks.
The analysis
Infosys reported movement of 50%. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.
Against that, the stock is +3.4% on the day at ₹1,185.00, and has returned +2.6% over three months. It sits 30% below its 52-week high, which means a good deal of bad news was already in the price. The it sector has moved -3.1% over the same period, so Infosys is running 5.7 points ahead of its peers.
For Infosys, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the it peer set alongside it.
