Infosys Stock Rises on Strategic Cloud Partnership with UFS as Daily Turnover Ranked 252nd

On August 21, 2025, Infosys (INFY) rose 0.24%, with a trading volume of $340 million, ranking 252nd in daily turnover. The stock’s performance coincided with the announcement of a strategic partnership with Uniting Financial Services (UFS) in Australia. Infosys Finacle, the company’s digital banking division, completed the migration of UFS’s core banking platform to its cloud-native Finacle Digital Banking Suite in under five months. The solution, deployed on AWS infrastructure, includes modules for core banking, mobile and online platforms, and customer data management. The project leveraged preconfigured workflows and compliance tools from the Finacle Australian Reference Bank Model, enabling rapid deployment.

UFS’s leadership highlighted the platform’s role in enhancing operational agility, scalability, and customer experience through omnichannel capabilities. The collaboration underscores Infosys’s growing traction in cloud-based digital banking solutions, a sector critical to its long-term revenue growth. Executives emphasized the platform’s integration of AWS services like Amazon RDS and EKS, which bolster security and scalability. The deal aligns with Infosys’s broader strategy to expand its Finacle footprint in the Asia-Pacific region, where demand for agile, compliant banking systems is rising.

The strategy of buying the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding them for one day from 2022 to now delivered moderate returns. The CAGR was 6.98%, with a maximum drawdown of 15.59% during the backtest period. The strategy demonstrated steady growth over time, making it a robust choice for investors seeking consistent returns. However, the significant drawdown in mid-2023 highlights the importance of risk management in high-volume trading strategies.
