Our Take
In recent times, Infosys has been strengthening its core competencies by pursuing strategic collaborations and acquisitions. Over the past few quarters, Infosys have collaborated with biggies for fortifying its portfolio and market share. To fortify engineering services, it has teamed up with General Electric (NYSE:GE) to deliver solutions in the field of automation, digital trends and Internet of Things.
Moreover, the company’s Renew New strategy has helped reap multiple benefits, including renewal of traditional services, winning deals, introduction of services, monetization from key initiatives such as Zero Distance and improvement of employee engagement. Infosys’ continued focus on commitment to execution has helped it deliver constant currency revenue growth, margin improvement, record cash generation and high revenue per worker over last several quarters.
However, the fact remains that President Trump’s anti-immigration stance, unfavorable political climate and escalating costs are likely to dent the company’sperformance. Moreover,the company’s stock has yielded a negative return of 6.8% in the past three months as against the Original post
