Mon Apr 21 04:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Infosys Stock Soars After Q4 Profit Report Despite Year-on-Year Decline

**New Delhi, April 21 (PTI)** – Infosys shares experienced a significant surge on Monday, climbing nearly 3 percent in morning trade following the release of its March quarter earnings. The stock’s recovery follows a subdued opening, ultimately closing at ₹1,462.20 on the BSE and ₹1,462.70 on the NSE. This positive performance comes despite the company reporting an 11.7 percent year-on-year decline in consolidated net profit to ₹7,033 crore for the quarter. The decrease was attributed to increased employee compensation and acquisitions.

While the year-on-year profit showed a decline, Infosys saw a 3.3 percent sequential increase in profit. Revenues for the quarter reached ₹40,925 crore, a 7.9 percent increase year-on-year but a 2 percent sequential decrease. For the full fiscal year 2025, profits saw a marginal 1.8 percent rise to ₹26,713 crore.

Despite the mixed results, the company’s CEO and MD, Salil Parekh, projected a revenue growth of 0-3 percent in constant currency terms for the current fiscal year. CFO Jayesh Sanghrajka confirmed the company remains on track to hire 20,000 freshers this fiscal year.

The positive market sentiment surrounding Infosys mirrored broader gains in the Indian stock market. The BSE Sensex jumped 794.10 points to 79,347.30, while the NSE Nifty surged 242.95 points to 24,094.60.
