Infosys, one of India’s biggest IT companies, has been in the news because of its share price movement. On September 9, 2025, Infosys shares increased by almost 5%, closing near ₹1,500. This jump is because the company’s board will meet on September 11 to discuss a buyback plan.
Now, what does a buyback mean in simple words? Imagine you run a shop and you decide to buy some of your own products from the market. That usually means you believe your products are valuable, and you want to reduce the number of items available outside so that the remaining ones become more valuable. Infosys is doing the same—buying back its own shares to show confidence in its long-term growth.
But here’s the catch. Even though the stock went up this week, 2025 has been a rough year for Infosys investors. The share price is still down by 21% since January, which means people who bought the stock earlier are still facing losses. The stock once touched ₹2,006 in December 2024 but also fell close to ₹1,307 this year. Right now, it’s stuck in a range between ₹1,348 (support level) and ₹1,500 (resistance level). In plain English, the stock is bouncing between these two numbers, and only a strong move above ₹1,500 can push it higher.
Experts say Infosys might actually be undervalued at the moment. Some estimates suggest its real worth is around ₹1,661, which is about 14% more than today’s price. Other analysts believe the stock could move toward ₹1,702 in the coming months if things go well.
Globally, Infosys shares are also traded in the U.S. (as ADRs), and those too went up by about 2.5% recently. But overall, they’re still down a lot compared to last year’s highs.
So, what does all this mean for everyday investors? The buyback news has definitely brought excitement, and it shows that Infosys itself believes in its value. But the bigger question is whether the stock can keep rising once the buyback details are out. Investors will need to watch if the board approves a large-scale buyback and how global factors like U.S. interest rates and Indian tax policies affect IT companies.
For now, Infosys shares are shining again after a dull phase, but whether this glow lasts will depend on how strong the buyback plan really is.
