The IT services company recorded an 11 percent sequential growth in consolidated profit at Rs 111.6 crore for the March quarter and revenue grew by nearly 11 percent to Rs 1,017.4 crore in the same period, the firm said in an exchange filing earlier in the day.

The Americas business grew by 27 percent sequentially to Rs 381.2 crore, while the UK & Europe business saw a 6 percent growth at Rs 526.6 crore. Sequentially, the Rest of the World recorded an 11 percent increase in revenue at Rs 472.5 crore for the January-March quarter.

One basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point.

Technical View

Technically, the stock formed a long bullish candlestick on the daily charts with strong volumes. It has given a nice Bullish Flag breakout, which indicates a potential upside in the stock in the coming sessions.

The stock traded above all key moving averages —21, 50, 100 and 200-day exponential moving averages — which supports the bullish momentum in the stock.
