Tech heavyweight, Infosys was in the limelight gaining over 6 per cent in the morning trades on reports that the board is considering a bonus and a stock-split along with its fourth quarter results on April 13, 2004. |
However, profit booking at higher levels pulled the stock down at close to Rs 5,312.15 against its intra-day high of Rs 5,580. |
|
According to market analysts, the counter is witnessing activity ahead of its fourth quarter results and earning guidance for the next year. |
|
However, sector analysts are cautious that the company may announce conservative earnings guidance because of appreciating rupee and a global outsourcing backlash. |

A leading BSE broker said, "A bonus issue indicates the managment's confidence about the future growth of the company. However, the intention of a stock-split could be to fall in line with other issue such as Satyam, Wipro and the forthcomming TCS issue." |
