Infosys Sales and Stock Suffer as Revenue Growth Hits Six-Year Low.

Infosys, India's second-largest software services firm, has forecasted sales growth of between 4% and 7% for the fiscal year ending March 2024, which is lower than the average analyst estimate of 10.6%. The company's CEO, Salil Parekh, cited unplanned project rampdowns and delays in decision-making as reasons for the lower volumes. The demand for Indian software services has declined from its peak due to the reopening of economies and the return of workers to offices. Infosys' larger rival, Tata Consultancy Services, also missed analysts' estimates due to some clients deferring discretionary projects.

Accenture to Cut Jobs and Trim Forecasts Amid Lower IT Spending Concerns

Accenture has lowered its annual revenue and profit forecasts and announced plans to cut about 2.5% of its workforce, citing concerns over lower IT spending due to the worsening global economic outlook. More than half of the 19,000 jobs to be cut will be in non-billable corporate functions. The tech sector has been hit hard by a demand downturn caused by high inflation and rising interest rates, with rival Cognizant Technology Solutions also pointing to "muted" growth in bookings for 2022. Accenture now expects annual revenue growth to be between 8% and 10%, compared with its previous projection of an 8% to 11% increase.
