Why Infosys (INFY) Could Be Positioned for a Surge

Zacks Equity Research
·2 min read

Infosys Limited INFY is a leader in next-generation digital services and consulting that could be an interesting play for investors. That is because, not only does the stock have decent short-term momentum, but it is seeing solid activity on the earnings estimate revision front as well.

These positive earnings estimate revisions suggest that analysts are becoming more optimistic on INFY’s earnings for the coming quarter and year. In fact, consensus estimates have moved sharply higher for both of these time frames over the past four weeks, suggesting that Infosys could be a solid choice for investors

Current Quarter Estimates for INFY

In the past 30 days, four estimates have gone higher for Infosys while none has gone lower in the same time period. The trend has been pretty favorable too, with estimates increasing from 12 cents a share 30 days ago, to 14 cents today, a move of 16.7%.

Current Year Estimates for INFY

Meanwhile, Infosys’ current year figures are also looking quite promising, with six estimates moving higher in the past month, compared to none lower. The consensus estimate trend has also seen a boost for this time frame, increasing from 50 cents per share 30 days ago to 54 cents per share today, an increase of 8%.

The Hottest Tech Mega-Trend of All

Last year, it generated $24 billion in global revenues. By 2020, it's predicted to blast through the roof to $77.6 billion. Famed investor Mark Cuban says it will produce "the world's first trillionaires," but that should still leave plenty of money for regular investors who make the right trades early.
