Infosys is expected to report a 4% quarter-on-quarter revenue growth in constant currency for the second quarter of FY23, according to a Jefferies report. This growth will be driven by deal ramp ups and seasonal strength, the research report added.

TCS, which has already declared its results, reported a 10% growth in July-September net profit to ₹10,431 crore and 4.8% growth in revenue to ₹55,309 crore, beating street expectations. However, this has not cheered the stock exchanges as all IT sector stocks slipped into the red amid worries of demand for IT services, globally.
