Infosys shares have slipped below the psychological ₹1,000 mark for the first time since September 2020, marking a significant milestone in the company’s prolonged downturn.
The stock fell another 1.1% to ₹986.9 in Wednesday’s trade, extending a decline that has erased 40% of its value year-to-date.
The breach of this key support level underscores the severity of the selling pressure facing India’s second-largest IT services firm.
The market move reflects a broad repricing of risk in the Indian technology sector.
Investors are increasingly concerned about the impact of artificial intelligence on traditional IT services models, coupled with weaker-than-expected earnings and a challenging macroeconomic environment characterized by rising interest rates.
These factors have converged to create sustained downward pressure on the stock, with the market cap falling to approximately ₹4 lakh crore.
