Infosys Q2 Results
Infosys, a leading player in the IT services sector, is set to announce its Q2 results today. The company is expected to report a 3% year-on-year (YoY) growth in consolidated net profit, reaching approximately ₹6,212 crore for the quarter ending September 2024. Consolidated revenue is anticipated to grow nearly 7% YoY, amounting to around ₹38,994 crore. Analysts have noted that Infosys has secured large total contract value (TCV) deals worth $7.7 billion during this quarter, which could significantly bolster its performance. However, the company has revised its revenue growth guidance for FY24 to between 1.0-2.5% in constant currency terms, reflecting a cautious outlook amid changing market conditions. Despite these adjustments, Infosys aims to maintain its operating margin target of 20-22%.
Wipro Q2 Results
Wipro, another major IT service provider, is also expected to release its Q2 results today. Analysts predict that Wipro will show decent net profit growth; however, revenue may decline by approximately 2% due to softer deal activity and the impact of recent wage hikes. The consensus among brokerage estimates suggests that Wipro’s net profit could rise between 9-12%, indicating resilience despite operational challenges. Investors will be keen to assess how Wipro navigates the current market environment while striving to enhance profitability.
Axis Bank Q2 Results
Axis Bank, a prominent private sector lender, is projected to report an 8-9% YoY increase in net profit for the quarter ending September 2024. This growth is expected to be driven by an increase in net interest income (NII) and non-interest income, alongside improved asset quality management. According to brokerage estimates, Axis Bank’s NII for Q2FY25 is anticipated to grow by about 10% YoY. While slippages are expected to rise by 29% YoY, they are forecasted to decline by approximately 12% compared to the previous quarter. Loan growth for the quarter is anticipated to be modest, with a projected increase of 2% QoQ, but a stronger 11% rise YoY.

LTIMindtree, known for its expertise in digital transformation and technology services, will also announce its quarterly results today.

For instance, Indian Overseas Bank is expected to report improvements in net profit driven by enhanced interest income and reduced non-performing assets (NPAs).
