Infosys turned in better-than-expected performance in the first quarter, and maintained its full-year growth guidance, a positive signal at a time when the software services sector is facing slowing growth and the impact of protectionist rules in major markets. For the quarter ended June 30, revenue grew 2.7% sequentially to $2.65 billion in constant currency terms while net profit fell 0.4% to $541 million. Constant currency is a measure that strips out the volatility from fluctuating currencies. "This was a strong broad-based performance in all aspects of the business. Overall, we are happy with the execution in this quarter," CEO Vishal Sikka said at a post-earnings press conference. The company's shares fell by 0.72% to Rs 970 on the National Stock Exchange. Infosys maintained its full-year revenue outlook of 6.5-8.5% growth in constant currency terms. In reported dollar terms, Infosys raised its growth forecast to 7.1-9.1% from 6.1-8.1%.
