That 25% stock decline in 2025 is worrying me as a long-term investor. The AI and cloud focus sounds promising, but execution will be key. Might hold my shares but not buying more right now.

Respectfully, I think Infosys needs to be more transparent about what's causing the profit decline. "Global uncertainties" is too vague - investors deserve clearer explanations.

The operating margin staying above 20% is impressive despite challenges! Shows good cost management. Also Rs 22 dividend is better than many other companies right now 💯

The stock recovery during the day shows there's still market confidence. 0-3% growth guidance seems conservative though - is management being cautious or seeing real challenges ahead?
