Why is Infosys share price rising on 26 October 2026?

Infosys Limited shares gained 1.06% today, settling at ₹1,166.0 after moving between a day's low of ₹1,114.1 and a peak of ₹1,166.0.

The broader market participated in the positive momentum, with the benchmark Nifty advancing 0.68% and the sector-specific Nifty IT index rising 0.87%. Infosys outperformed both the broader market and its immediate sector gauge, extending its recent 20-day return to 14.93% despite opening lower with a gap-down of 3.1%.

Company context includes the recent declaration of an interim dividend of ₹26 per share with a record date set for November 3, 2026, alongside ongoing traction from its strategic collaborations such as the recent expansion with Truist to build a Global Capability Center in India.

2.43 crore shares traded by 26 October 2026 · 03:25 PM IST. This compares with a 20-day average daily volume of 1.50 crore shares (1.62 times). The five-day average daily volume was 2.15 crore shares. Separately, the NSE report for 23 October 2026 showed 1.75 crore shares delivered, representing 52.81% of that day’s traded volume. The same report recorded 406,897 trades.

Likely Reason
technical buying and high delivery volume following recent strength

The stock advanced 1.06% on volume that was 1.62 times its 20-day average, with healthy delivery participation of 52.81%. In the absence of a direct same-day news catalyst, the move reflects sustained buying interest building upon a strong 20-day return of 14.93%.
