Infosys shares fall 2.6% after $1.5B AI deal termination, CFO resignation.
Shares of Infosys fell as much as 2.6% on Tuesday, December 26, 2023, after the company said that an unnamed global company, which had signed a $1.5 billion deal focused on artificial intelligence solutions, decided to terminate its Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the IT giant.
Infosys said it had plans to enhance digital experiences and provide business operation services, utilising the company's platforms and artificial intelligence (AI) solutions.
It was a 15-year deal signed
in September 2023. The deal termination comes at a time when IT and tech companies globally are facing uncertainties and challenges.
This comes just two weeks after Nilanjan Roy, the company's former CFO, resigned.
Shares of the IT giant had gained about 6.7% during the quarter and 1.8% YTD.

The U.S. has launched two investigations under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 against India and other economies to examine practices that may be ‘unreasonable or discriminatory and burden or restrict U.S. commerce’. One probe examines whether countries, including India, are using excess manufacturing capacity to export to the U.S. in a manner that hurts American businesses, while another looks at whether countries have taken ‘sufficient steps’ to prohibit imports of goods produced with forced labour.
