Infosys Q1 Results: Shares rise 1% ahead of earnings; key things to watch out for

Shares of the company in the afternoon deals were trading over 1% higher at ₹1,588 apiece on the NSE.

So far, the earnings by IT services companies have been subdued, as expected. Hence, Infosys is also expected to report muted numbers. However, the Street will keenly eye the company's statements on demand trends, the silver lining, as well as the headwinds that influenced the company's operations during the June quarter.

Besides this, its outlook and forward-looking statements, deal wins, types of deal wins (size and nature), AI-led deals and the order pipeline, and revenue growth in constant currency terms, as well as the revenue and margin guidance for the fiscal year 2025-26, will be key monitorables.

Additionally, commentary on attrition and hiring will also be tracked by market participants and other stakeholders.
