What Infosys does

India's second-largest IT-services firm, delivering software development, consulting and outsourcing to global clients.

Earns by billing clients for engineering and consulting time or for fixed-price projects, usually under multi-year outsourcing contracts, with North America the biggest region and banks the biggest industry. Finacle banking software adds product licences. Headcount and how fully staff are billed drive its economics, and founders and their families hold a minority, so no one controls it.

In one line: India's Accenture / Cognizant.

What could go right

  • Enterprise AI and digital transformation spend

What could go wrong

Moat: narrow (switching costs, scale, brand). Deep, multi-year outsourcing relationships are costly for clients to rip out and replace.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
