Quick Answer

The infosys share price prediction for monday is constructive for 5 October 2026. Infosys surged today, the standout large-cap performer across this entire batch, far outpacing the broader IT rally. Since Indian markets are shut Friday for Gandhi Jayanti and through the weekend, Thursday’s close remains the last available data heading into Monday.

The infosys share price prediction for monday is in focus after a Thursday session in which the broader Nifty 50 fell 0.88 percent to 22,421.95, as India VIX spiked 7.64 percent to 14.52, its sharpest single-day jump since late September, as broad-based selling hit most sectors, with Nifty Auto and Nifty Metal the worst hit even as Nifty IT bucked the trend entirely and rallied.

Infosys Share Price Prediction for Monday: Analyst View

Kunal Singla expects Infosys to track broader market direction once trading resumes on 5 October 2026, with stock-specific news flow the key swing factor. Ankit Jaiswal notes that a stable India VIX would support range-bound trading in the stock, while continued volatility could widen its intraday range.

Sector Context

Infosys is best read alongside Nifty IT, the sector index it belongs to, since sector-wide flows often explain a large part of the stock’s daily move.

Levels in Focus for Monday

Infosys traded between 999.15 and 1,035 on Thursday, against a previous close of 994.10. Reclaiming 994.10 would be the first sign that Thursday’s pressure is easing once trading resumes, while a fresh break below 999.15 would put the day’s low back in play. Univest’s analysts treat these as reference points drawn from Thursday’s trading range, not as targets.

Univest’s desk will revisit this infosys share price prediction for monday once Monday’s opening trade confirms direction.

What Could Change the View on Monday

The infosys share price prediction for monday depends less on the stock alone than on the market around it. If Thursday’s risk-off mood eases over the long weekend, Infosys could stabilise near the previous close discussed above. If India VIX stays elevated or rises further, the Nifty 50 could extend its decline and pull Infosys lower with it. Kunal Singla suggests watching India VIX, which spiked to 14.52, as the quickest gauge of whether fear is building or fading once trading resumes.

Why This Is Written for Monday

Indian markets are closed Friday, 2 October 2026, for Gandhi Jayanti, as well as Saturday and Sunday, so Thursday’s closing prices remain the last available data until trading resumes on Monday, 5 October 2026. Treat this infosys share price prediction for monday as a briefing to prepare for that session, not a live call that updates over the long weekend.

Track Infosys on Univest Screeners

Risks to This Prediction
