Key Points

• Infosys stock rose due to promoters not buying shares.
• Promoters decided not to participate in a ₹18,000 crore buyback.
• Stock increased by 3.76% to ₹1,527.35 on October 23rd.
• Total trading volume was 5.67 million shares, worth ₹880.83 crore.
• Infosys reported a 13.2% rise in net profit during Q2FY26.
• The company declared an interim dividend of ₹23 per share.

The reason for this jump is that the company’s main owners (promoters) – people like Narayana Murthy and Nandan Nilekani – decided they wouldn’t take part in a plan to buy back some of the company’s own shares. The company had already announced they would spend about ₹18,000 crore to buy back shares. This meant that people who already owned the stock couldn’t get extra money for it.

This isn’t the first time Infosys has done this. They’ve done it five times in the last ten years. In 2022, they bought back 60 million shares for ₹9,300 crore at an average price of ₹1,850 per share. It’s a way for companies to give money back to shareholders.

During their latest financial report (Q2FY26), Infosys did really well. Their profits went up by 13.2% compared to the same time last year. They made ₹7,364 crore in profit. They also made more money overall – ₹44,490 crore. Big deals helped a lot, especially from the banking and manufacturing industries.

Some areas, like retail, didn’t grow as quickly. However, the total amount of money Infosys secured from new deals was a significant 29% higher than the previous year. This shows the company is successfully attracting new business.

To reward shareholders, Infosys also announced an “interim dividend,” which means a small payment for each share you own. They will pay out ₹23 per share on November 7, 2025, after checking who owns the stock on October 27, 2025.
