GLOB/CINT: Infosys' guidance cut suggests a soft demand backdrop

What happened: UBS India IT Services analyst Aditya Chandrasekar shared key

Pricing and volume pressure: Management attributed the cut to (i) around 1%

from a European manufacturing client; (ii) around 50bps from a one-off client

termination; (iii) around 0.75-1% from a shift to offshore; and (iv) weaker than

expected pricing (due to competitive intensity, as well as higher productivity

pass through expectations), alongside softer volumes.
