On July 11, Infosys (NASDAQ:INFY) released earnings for the first quarter ended June 30.

  • There was increasing demand for the company's business solutions and strong growth in its service lines, including consulting, engineering services, and implementing packages.
  • Adding 35 new clients during the quarter helped drive revenue up 40% from last year.
  • Margins slipped because the rupee appreciated sharply against most major currencies. A 1% rise in the rupee against the dollar affects operating margins by 30 to 50 basis points.
