MUMBAI (Reuters) - Shares in conglomerate Larsen and Toubro slump around 7 percent on Wednesday after the company's April-June net profit, adjusted for exceptional items worth 2.49 billion rupees, missed estimates.
Exceptional gain represents gain on divestment of a strategic investment and stake in subsidiary companies, the company said in a statement on Monday.
The extent of losses in the hydrocarbons segment was also a negative surprise, analysts say.
