Infosys (INFY) Q4 FY26 Earnings Preview: Guidance Raised Amid AI Momentum

Key Takeaways

  • Analysts expect Q4 FY26 revenue of approximately $4.98 billion (₹46,364 crore), implying modest sequential growth from Q3's $5.1 billion.
  • Consensus EPS estimate stands at $0.21 per share, in line with recent quarterly trends and FY26 guidance.
  • Company recently raised FY26 revenue growth guidance to 3.0%-3.5% in constant currency following strong Q3 large deal wins of $4.8 billion (57% net new).
  • Key focus areas include AI-driven demand via Infosys Topaz, deal momentum, and operating margins amid labor code impacts.
  • Earnings scheduled for April 23, 2026, after market close, with conference call to follow.

Earnings Context and Why This Report Matters

As Infosys (INFY), a global leader in digital services and consulting, closes out FY26 (April 1, 2025 - March 31, 2026) with its Q4 results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, I'm paying close attention. This report comes at the end of a year marked by steady recovery in IT spending, supported by AI adoption and strong large deal conversions. In Q3, the company delivered 0.6% sequential constant currency (CC) revenue growth to $5,099 million, along with $4.8 billion in large deals, which led to an upward revision of FY26 revenue guidance to 3.0%-3.5% CC. With macroeconomic headwinds easing, yet discretionary spending remaining soft, investors like me are watching to gauge the trajectory into FY27, potential dividend moves, and sustained AI momentum in a sector crowded with competitors like TCS and HCLTech.

What to Expect from Q4 Results

Wall Street is looking for Q4 revenue of ₹463.64 billion (~$4.98 billion at current rates), a slight uptick from Q3's ₹45,479 crore ($5,099 million), in keeping with seasonal patterns and the full-year CC growth target of 3%-3.5%. The EPS consensus sits at $0.21 (basic reported Q3: $0.18; adjusted $0.21), backed by 20%-22% operating margin guidance (Q3 adjusted: 21.2%).

From what I see in historical patterns, reactions can be volatile: Q3 beat EPS estimates ($0.21 vs. $0.20 expected), but the stock dipped due to cautious guidance; earlier beats pushed gains up to 10%. Key items on my radar include large deal total contract value (Q3: $4.8B), updates on AI projects (4,600+ ongoing), and the FY27 outlook. Risks to consider are CC headwinds from rupee strength and rising subcontractor costs. I also checked this using Tickeron’s AI Screener to see how INFY stacks up against industry peers on key metrics.

Market Sentiment Ahead of Earnings

Sentiment heading into Q4 feels cautiously optimistic, thanks to the Q3 guidance upgrade and $4.8B in deals that point to recovering demand, especially in Europe (7.2% YoY CC growth). INFY shares are up ~23% YTD, outperforming the Nifty IT index amid the AI buzz. That said, some forecasts suggest muted sequential growth (~0.8% CC decline), and macro uncertainty lingers. Options pricing points to a ~5-6% post-earnings move, with emphasis on FY27 guidance and the AI pipeline.

Looking Ahead: FY27 Guidance and Factors to Watch

Once Q4 numbers are out, the focus will shift to FY27 guidance, which builds on the revised FY26 target of 3.0%-3.5% CC revenue growth. Management's Q3 remarks emphasized AI value pools such as engineering services, data for AI, and agents—now active in 4,600 projects, with 90% of the top 200 clients engaged.

The large deal momentum ($4.8B TCV in Q3, up from $3.1B previously) and net new logos (57%) indicate a strong pipeline, though conversion to revenue typically lags 6-9 months. One thing that stands out is the deal wins, particularly those infused with AI via Topaz offerings.

Margins could face headwinds from labor codes (~15-20 bps impact), fresher hiring (~20k FY26 target), and subcontractor ramps, though productivity gains (28M+ AI-generated code lines) provide some offset. Rupee fluctuations will also play into CC growth.

I'm watching broader catalysts too, including results from sector peers like TCS and HCLTech, U.S. spending trends, and geopolitical stability. Strong execution here could position Infosys well for AI-driven growth.
