Infosys, a leading information technology firm in India, recently announced the record date for its interim dividend of ₹23 per share. This dividend, declared earlier this month alongside the company's earnings for the second quarter of the financial year 2025-26, is set to be paid to eligible investors on November 7. To qualify for this dividend, investors needed to purchase shares on or before October 24, adhering to the Indian stock market's T+1 settlement system. Despite the broader market's upward trend, Infosys shares saw a decline of nearly 2%, dropping below the ₹1500 mark during trading.

As per Trendlyne data, Infosys currently maintains a dividend yield of 4.37%, having distributed a total of ₹66 in dividends over the past year. Since May 2002, the company has declared 50 dividends, showcasing its commitment to returning value to shareholders. However, challenges such as H-1B visa hikes, sluggish demand, and concerns over U.S. tariffs have contributed to a 20% drop in Infosys shares year-to-date, further complicating its performance in the market. Today, shares fell to a low of ₹1498 from the previous closing price of ₹1525.40, against a 52-week high of ₹2006.80 and a 52-week low of ₹1307.10.

Analysts are observing the stock's technical patterns, with Anshul Jain from Lakshmishree Investments noting the formation of a triple bottom near ₹1,445, indicating potential selling exhaustion. He suggests that a sustained hold above the ₹1,420 to ₹1,440 range could lead to a gradual recovery, with a preliminary target near ₹1,563. However, a decisive breach below ₹1,420 could signal further selling pressure. As of the latest update, Infosys shares were trading 0.89% lower at ₹1509.90 on the Bombay Stock Exchange, reflecting ongoing volatility in the tech sector. Investors are advised to consult certified experts before making investment decisions, considering the rapidly changing market conditions.
