Infosys Q1 Results Highlights
Infosys' Q1 FY27 revenue growth disappointed due to a 50 bps one-off energies, utilities, resources, services client program termination, though Ebit margin (21.1%), net new deal total contract values, AI revenue, and cash conversion remained positive.
FY27E CC revenue growth guidance was cut from 1.5–3.5% to 1.5–3.0%, with ~1.7% inorganic contribution from acquisitions implying organic growth of approximately -0.2% to +1.3% — driven by softer Q1 volumes, the EURS client termination, an escalating European manufacturing headwind, and competitive pricing pressure.
