SGA Emerging Markets Growth Strategy stated the following regarding Infosys Limited (NYSE:INFY) in its fourth quarter 2025 investor letter:
"Infosys Limited (NYSE:INFY) was a top contributor during the quarter, driven by steady execution, resilient recurring revenues, and strong performance in large-scale digital transformation projects. The company’s industry-leading operating margins and high client retention supported robust free cash flow generation, while notable contract wins, such as the NHS workforce management solution in the UK, highlighted Infosys’s ability to deliver innovative platforms for global clients. More recently, investor sentiment toward India has cooled due to softening domestic demand, persistent tariff uncertainty, and a rotation of foreign capital into markets more exposed to AI and semiconductor growth. Along with other outsourced IT service providers, Infosys shares have been weak as concerns grew over the potential for these business models to be disrupted by AI amid a softer demand environment. However, in our view, AI deployment in enterprises is not easy, requiring investments in governance, data integrity, and compliance, all tasks which the IT services providers are well positioned to assist with. We trimmed the position to a below-average weight due to valuation considerations."
