Brokerage Sharekhan expects the firm to post a 20.8 percent YoY and 21.8 percent QoQ decline in net profit to Rs 897 crore. Revenue is likely to decline 0.2 percent QoQ on CC basis despite additional revenue contribution from BORN acquisition and ramp-up of Prudential deal, Sharekhan said.
"The decline in revenue during the quarter is expected due to lower billings in BPO (10 percent of its total revenue), a drop in AT&T revenue, decline in Pininfarina revenue, China shut-down, and cancellation of few network projects. Further, the cross-currency headwind is expected around 110 BPS on its dollar revenue," Sharekhan said.
