Infosys is set to announce its Q4 FY26 results today. The company’s dividend announcement and its recent collaboration with OpenAI will also be key highlights, as Infosys strengthens its position in the growing AI services space.
Today is a significant day for India's IT sector. Infosys, the country's second-largest software services company, is set to announce its results for the fourth quarter and full year ended 31 March 2026 at around 3:45 p.m. IST. The company's leadership team will hold a press conference at 4:30 p.m. IST, followed by a 60-minute earnings call for investors and analysts at 5:30 p.m. IST.
The results come at a time when the broader IT sector has had a difficult year. The Nifty IT index is down nearly 21% year-to-date. Infosys stock itself closed 3.4% lower at ₹1,268 on 22 April, and is down over 21% so far this year amid market volatility.
2026 has been characterised by heightened macroeconomic uncertainty, persistent geopolitical tensions, and a cautious stance by IT clients on large deal closures, with escalation risks weighing on revenue momentum. While rupee depreciation was seen supporting margins, rising concerns around AI-led deflation drove a recent de-rating in valuation multiples.
Infosys is all set to declare its final dividend for FY26 today. The IT major had announced an interim dividend of ₹23 per share earlier this year, whose record date was 27 October 2025. From ₹1,419.60 crore worth of dividend payout in FY18, Infosys has been increasing its payout amount every year. In FY25, it declared a total of ₹43 per share dividend worth ₹8,719.20 crore. For the 10 years ended 31 March 2025, the second-largest IT major declared a total of ₹55,495.40 crore in dividends. Effective from FY25, Infosys expects to continue its policy of returning approximately 85% of the free cash flow cumulatively over a five-year period through a combination of semi-annual dividends, share buybacks and special dividends.
Dividend yield has historically ranged between 1.6% and 3.8% since FY18, making this an important metric for income-focused investors who hold the stock.
One day before its results, Infosys made a significant announcement. On 22 April, the company said it has entered into a strategic collaboration with OpenAI to help enterprises transform software development and modernisation using OpenAI's frontier AI models and products, including Codex.
Through this collaboration, Infosys will combine OpenAI's technology with its own Infosys Topaz Fabric platform to help customers move from AI experimentation towards practical, responsible deployment. The focus areas span software engineering, legacy modernisation, DevOps automation and e-commerce.
Denise Dresser, Chief Revenue Officer at OpenAI, said Codex is becoming a powerful workspace for managing agents across software development and business workflows, and that Infosys' expertise in large-scale software transformation enables enterprises to deploy Codex across areas like legacy code modernisation, code review automation, vulnerability detection and application development.
Salil Parekh, Chief Executive Officer of Infosys, said, "Generative and Agentic AI will redefine how enterprises operate and grow. Our collaboration with OpenAI establishes an operating model to unlock AI value at scale, uniting technology, talent and transformation playbooks so clients can move decisively from pilots to performance, creating competitive advantage."
The timing of this announcement, a day ahead of the quarterly results, is notable. It signals Infosys is actively positioning itself in the AI services space rather than being disrupted by it, which has been a key concern for IT sector investors over the past year.
Infosys Ltd provides consulting, technology, outsourcing and next-generation digital services to enable clients to execute strategies for their digital transformation. It is the 2nd largest Information Technology company in India behind TCS
