30 Sept 2026 · LiveMint Companies
Infosys plans to move up to one-third of its workforce into specialised roles and build a 6,000-member team of frontier engineers as AI reshapes the IT industry. The move comes as Indian IT firms face pressure on hiring, headcount-based pricing and traditional business models.
The analysis
Against that, the stock is -2.0% on the day at ₹993.20, and has returned -7.4% over three months. It sits 41% below its 52-week high, which means a good deal of bad news was already in the price. The it sector has moved -3.2% over the same period, so Infosys is running 4.2 points behind 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.
Market context
- The company directly in focus is INFY.
- Sector exposure: IT.
