Infosys shares rose 1% in early trading on November 19, buoyed by positive market sentiment ahead of its ₹18,000 crore share buyback starting November 20. Investors remain upbeat on Infosys’s operational performance, strategic AI initiatives, and robust outlook amid ongoing sector volatility.
Infosys , a heavyweight in India’s IT sector, witnessed a 1% uptick in its share price in pre-market trade on November 19. The rise comes as excitement builds over the company’s ₹18,000 crore share buyback offer, opening November 20 and closing November 26, 2025. This move marks one of the largest buybacks in India’s tech industry this year, signaling confidence in the company’s balance sheet and future growth.
Beyond buyback anticipation, investor optimism is underpinned by Infosys’s recent launch of AI-powered solutions for global capability centers and its expanded collaborations across banking, manufacturing, and digital transformation. The company continues delivering on financial strength, with strong quarterly earnings and a 2.85% dividend yield sustaining broad shareholder appeal.
Sector-wide volatility due to US Fed rate uncertainties and mixed global earnings have not deterred Infosys’s resilience, further bolstered by its innovation-driven growth. The share buyback entitlement factor stands at 18.1% for small shareholders, reflecting Infosys’s commitment to rewarding loyal investors.
