Bloomberg estimates peg the revenues for Q4FY21 at Rs 26,398 crore and net profits at Rs 5,168 crore even as the Street expects top tier IT players to report sequential revenue increases of 2.5-3.5% in constant currency terms. This would be among the best Q4 performances in several years though margins might not be as flattering due to wage hikes and higher overheads. The Infosys stock on Friday ended flat at Rs 1,440.75 apiece, having gained 140% over the past one year.
