An increase in promoter stake is often seen as a positive signal because it shows higher conviction from the people who know the business best.

Promoters usually have deep insight into the company's financial health, future plans, risks, and competitive position. When they increase their holding, it suggests they believe the company's prospects are strong.

Here are 3 stocks where promoters have bought shares and have hiked their stake.

#1 Infosys

First on our list is the stock of Infosys.

Infosys is a global technology services and consulting company, helping businesses around the world with digital transformation through IT services, consulting, engineering, and outsourcing solutions.

Promoter and Institutional Holdings of Infosys: Q3 FY26 Vs Q2 FY26

  Dec-25 Sep-25 Increase/Decrease
Promoter Holdings 14.52% 14.30% 0.22%
Mutual Funds 22.12% 22.73% -0.61%
FIIs 30.26% 30.07% 0.19%

Promoters of Infosys have hiked their stake by 0.22% in Infosys from 14.30% in Q2 FY26 to 14.52% in Q3 FY26. FIIs too have hiked their stake in the company, while mutual fund stake has dropped.

The stock of Infosys, like almost every IT stock has come under intense selling pressure in recent weeks, on account of fears that AI would cause loss of revenues and a disruption in general.

On the financial front, Infosys reported revenues of Rs 454,790 m in Q3 FY26, showing a growth of 8.8%. The net profits of the company slipped to Rs 66,540 m, a drop of 2.2%.

Profitability was impacted by a one-time exceptional charge of Rs 12,890 m related to the implementation of new Indian Labour Codes.

Infosys raised its full-year (FY26) revenue growth guidance to 3-3.5% in constant currency, up from the previous range of 2-3%.

Moving ahead, growth visibility depends on global macroeconomic conditions, particularly tech spending trends in the US and Europe.

AI is both an opportunity and a disruption risk, as automation could compress traditional services revenue if pricing weakens.
