Infosys CEO ne Q3 Earnings Miss ke beech Detention Rumors ko Dismiss Kiya
Overview

Infosys CEO Salil Parekh ne US immigration authorities dwara ek employee ke detain hone ki social media afwahon ko khariz kiya hai, ye clarify karte hue ki sirf ek entry denial ka mamla tha. IT giant ka teesri quarter ka net profit 9.6% sequentially girkar ₹6,654 crore ho gaya, jo analyst estimates se kam tha. Infosys shares 14 January ko 0.62% badhkar ₹1,608.90 par band hue.

Infosys ke CEO aur Managing Director Salil Parekh ne social media par chal rahi un reports ko dismiss kar diya jisme company ke ek employee ko US immigration authorities dwara detain ya deport karne ka dava kiya ja raha tha. 14 January ko Infosys ki teesri quarter earnings conference ke dauran baat karte hue, Parekh ne spasht kiya ki ye allegations galat hain.

"No Infosys employee has been apprehended by any US authority," Parekh ne kaha. "Kuch mahine pehle, hamare ek employee ko US mein entry deny ki gayi thi aur unhe India wapas bhej diya gaya tha." Is statement ka maqsad un viral posts ka khandan karna tha jismein Mysuru-based employee ko US project par hote hue Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents dwara uthakar jail ya deportation ka stark choice dene ka ilzam lagaya gaya tha, jismein public humiliation ka bhi zikr tha.

Financial Performance

Company ne October-December quarter ke liye ₹6,654 crore ka net profit report kiya. Ye figure CNBC-TV18 poll estimate (jo ₹7,445 crore predict kar raha tha) se kam tha. Net profit mein September quarter mein record kiye gaye ₹7,364 crore se 9.6% ka sequential decline bhi dikhaya gaya.

Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) is quarter ke liye ₹9,479 crore raha, jo poll estimate ₹9,624 crore se thoda kam hai, lekin September quarter ke ₹9,353 crore se 1.3% ka marginal sequential increase dikhata hai. Quarter ka operating margin 20.8% tha, jo expected 21.3% aur pichle quarter ke 21% se thoda niche tha.

Market Reaction and Headcount Growth

Infosys Ltd. ke shares ne Wednesday, January 14 ko National Stock Exchange (NSE) par 0.62% ka modest gain register karte hue ₹1,608.90 par closing ki. Saath hi, Infosys ne apne workforce mein ek significant increase announce kiya, teesri quarter mein 5,043 naye employees add kiye gaye. Isse company ka total headcount 11-quarter high par pahunch gaya, jo earnings fluctuations ke bawajood continued expansion ko indicate karta hai.
