Key earnings to track today
Here is a detailed analysis of the key results to watch today –
Infosys Q3FY25 earnings
Tech bellwether Infosys results will be announced around 3:45 pm today. The key factor that the street is watching out for is the management commentary on the demand outlook. While TCS management did provide a positive outlook, cautious revenue guidance from HCL Tech earlier this week was a sentiment dampener for the IT stocks. Most brokerage firms expect a muted revenue guidance from Infosys while the net profit is likely to be in low single digit. The Infosys stock is trending upwards. However if we analyse the stock’s movement between the Q2 earnings and now, its been up just 1.56%, almost flat. However, on a 1-year timeframe, the stock has yielded 19% returns for investors.

Sharp increase in the O2C segment and the nearly $2 per barrel improvement in GRMs is expected to offset soft petchem performance. That apart the investors will also watch out for many management commentary on the listing plans for Reliance retail business.
