Infosys Share Price Jumps 3% as Board to Weigh Share Buyback Proposal

Market Performance: Stock Market Today

The Infosys share price turned heads in Tuesday’s session, rallying as much as 3.68% to ₹1,485.70. This surge came on the back of the company’s latest announcement—its board will meet later this week to evaluate a proposal for share buyback.

Despite the positive momentum today, the bigger picture tells a different story. Over the past year, Infosys has been on the back foot:

• Down 12.63% in the last six months
• Slipped 21.54% over the past year
• In the red for five out of the last seven months

This long phase of underperformance has kept investors cautious, but the buyback buzz is now sparking renewed interest.

Main News: Buyback Under Consideration

Infosys revealed in its exchange filing that the Board of Directors will convene on September 11, 2025. On the agenda: a proposal to buy back fully paid-up equity shares.

The company clarified that the move is in line with:

• SEBI (Buy-Back of Securities) Regulations, 2018
• in compliance with SEBI’s Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements (LODR) Regulations, 2015.

The official outcome of the board meeting will be shared with stock exchanges once the discussions conclude.

Company Financials: A Quick Look

While the stock has struggled, Infosys’ latest quarterly earnings showed resilience:

• Net Profit: ₹6,921 crore, up 8.7% from ₹6,368 crore in the same quarter last year.
• Revenue from Operations: ₹42,279 crore, an increase of 7.53% compared to ₹39,315 crore in Q1 FY25.
• Growth Drivers: The growth was supported by an increase in working days and solid traction in the  BFSI segment.

On the outlook front:

• Full-year revenue growth guidance revised to 1%–3% (from flat–3% earlier).
• Operating margin outlook maintained at 20%–22% for FY26.

Summary

The Infosys share price found much-needed momentum today, rising over 3% as the company confirmed that its board will review a share buyback proposal this Thursday. While the buyback could provide short-term sentiment boost, the IT giant continues to face challenges, with the stock still down over 20% in a year.

Financially, Infosys remains steady with profit and revenue growth, even as it revised its annual forecast to the lower end of expectations. All eyes are now on September 11, when the board’s decision could set the tone for the next leg of Infosys’ journey in the stock market.
