Infosys delivered robust numbers in the third quarter and revised its guidance for FY19 higher. The open market buyback of shares at a maximum of ₹800 a piece comes as the icing on the cake. On a year-on-year (Y-o-Y) basis, the company reported a double-digit growth of 10.1 per cent, on a constant currency basis in dollar terms, after a gap of 10 quarters. In the third quarter, the revenues rose 2.2 per cent sequentially in dollar terms (2.7 per cent in constant currency). Infosys’ operating margin of 22.6 per cent is healthy and in line with its preferred band of 22-24 per cent.
