The protracted inflationary pressure and still-high interest rates have been a substantial headwind for the company due to expense reduction among its enterprise customers. Moreover, INFY has been facing slow decision-making processes and weakness in digital transformation programs in the current uncertain macroeconomic environment, which is affecting volumes.INFY’s business is highly prone to currency volatility between the Indian Rupee and the U.S. dollar, as the majority of its revenues are derived from the U.S. markets. However, the recent rate cuts by the Federal Reserve might benefit Infosys in the coming quarters.The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal 2025 depicts a sluggish single-digit sales growth. The consensus mark for INFY’s fiscal 2025 revenues is pegged at $19.41 billion, indicating year-over-year growth of 4.8%.What Should Investors Do?INFY’s steady flow of contracts and expanding AI expertise reflects solid top-line growth potential. However, the stock has a stretched valuation, as reflected by the Zacks Value Score of D, suggesting that investors should wait for a better entry time.
