Infosys share price target: Morgan Stanley retains 'Overweight'

Morgan Stanley has retained an overweight rating on Infosys. However, it has cut the target to Rs 1,750 from Rs 1,820 earlier on the IT stock.

According to the brokerage, Infosys' Q4 results and FY25 revenue guidance will be a key catalyst for the stock. The analyst at the brokerage expects 3-6 per cent revenue growth guidance in constant currency terms (CC) in the base case.

"Base case growth hinges on strong deal wins in FY24, with a potential bounceback in H2, implying better conversion of deal wins into revenue," the brokerage added.
