Shares of Infosys are likely to remain subdued in the short term after the company cut its FY12 dollar revenue growth guidance to 16.4 per cent from 17.1-19.1 per cent and said it expects Q4 revenue to be flat versus Q3. FY12 EPS for 148-150 rupees was baked in the price and anything short of this will not be acceptable by the street,said an institutional sales person with a foreign research house
This would have a negative rub off on the sentiment for other IT stocks as well,said another analyst tracking the company.
Infosys beat market forecasts with a 33 per cent rise in quarterly profit as a weak rupee boosted margins,but it cut its full-year revenue outlook because of the debt crisis in Europe,its second-biggest market.
At 9:24 a.m,shares of Infosys were down 6.14 per cent at 2,654 rupees.
