  • Infosys Shares Fall 7% After Accenture Cuts Revenue Growth Forecast
    June 19, 2026, 8:12 AM EDT. Infosys shares dropped nearly 7%, leading declines among major Indian IT stocks, after Accenture cut its revenue growth forecast for fiscal 2026 to 3-4% from 3-5%. The drop reflects concerns over soft client spending and slower demand for discretionary digital projects, affecting Nifty IT, which closed at its lowest level in three years, down 3.65%. Accenture's third-quarter bookings fell year-on-year, signaling a cautious global tech recovery. Analysts highlight pressure on India's $315 billion IT sector as clients delay non-essential spending amidst geopolitical risks and emerging AI shifts. Market watchers say Indian IT firms must adapt quickly to these challenges or face further growth struggles.
