Infosys (INFY) saw a 0.80% decline on August 6, 2025, with a trading volume of $0.27 billion, marking a 25.49% drop compared to the previous day’s activity. The stock ranked 431st in volume among listed equities, indicating reduced liquidity and investor engagement during the session.

The company filed a Form 6-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 5, 2025, disclosing an update on the McCamish cyber incident. The filing included a copy of the notification submitted to Indian stock exchanges, detailing the ongoing investigation into the cybersecurity breach. While no financial impact was disclosed in the filing, the disclosure could heighten investor concerns over operational risks and potential regulatory scrutiny.

Strategies targeting high-volume stocks have historically shown strong performance in volatile markets. A backtest of purchasing the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding for one day yielded a 166.71% return from 2022 to the present, significantly outperforming the benchmark’s 29.18% gain. This highlights the role of liquidity concentration in short-term price movements, though such approaches carry elevated risks due to rapid market shifts and sentiment changes.
