Viju George, executive director, JPMorgan Market Views
Viju George, executive director, JPMorgan has expressed his views on Infosys candidly and same are as appended below:
I would say that what Infosys is saying is that don’t look at the top end of the guidance which is 5.4% that might not be met. I don’t see that as too much of a concern because as we have said before expecting 5.4% in a seasonally weaker December quarter was always going to be a stretch. We were pegging it at closer to 4.5% and sections of the Street also had taken a more realistic appraisal of Infosys guidance. There were just two aspects to the guidance that we thought were unrealistic — the high end at 5.4% and the wide band associated with the guidance that you don’t normally see in a quarter, no matter how big the volatility. However, I don’t think it’s too much of a concern because Infosys is telling that ‘don’t count on us to do 5.4%, however, we still remain within the band’. A section of the market has already substantially priced this.
