Infosys Wins Knorr-Bremse Deal as Revenue Growth Stays Slow

Infosys announced on August 18 a long-term deal to manage the enterprise software of Knorr-Bremse AG, a maker of braking systems for rail and commercial vehicles, covering ERP, data platforms, engineering and product lifecycle tools and running on Infosys Topaz, the company's AI offering. The win lands alongside results Infosys posted on July 23, in which AI accounted for 8.2% of revenue in the quarter ended June 30 and large deal wins totaled $3.6 billion, 61% of it net new. Operating margin came in at 21.1%, within the 20% to 22% range Infosys kept for its FY27 guidance, and free cash flow reached $955 million, or 116.5% of net profit. Growth remains the weak spot: revenue rose 2.4% from a year earlier in constant currency and just 1.0% from the prior quarter, and Infosys revised its FY27 revenue guidance to a range of 1.5% to 3.0%. Earnings per share grew 14.9% in rupee terms, but basic EPS in dollars rose only 3.7% to $0.20, and the Knorr-Bremse announcement gave no contract value.

Knorr-Bremse Posts Record EBIT Margin and Launches Growth Beyond Strategy

Knorr-Bremse AG reported its highest quarterly operating EBIT margin in five and a half years at 14.2%, driven by structural improvements and strong market conditions. The Rail division delivered 5% organic revenue growth and a record order backlog exceeding 5.9 billion euros, while the Truck division achieved an 8% organic revenue increase and a 150 basis point margin improvement to 11.8% despite weak truck production rates. Free cash flow improved significantly to 262 million euros in the second quarter of 2026. The company launched its 'Growth Beyond' strategy with ambitious 2030 targets, including organic revenue of around 10 billion euros and an operating EBIT margin of approximately 16%, and confirmed the sale of its HVAC business is on track. However, Rail order intake fell 12% due to project lumpiness, and foreign exchange headwinds have cost approximately 500 million euros in revenue from 2022 to 2026.
