Zee Business Managing Editor Anil Singhvi said that there was no doubt that the quarterly results were weak this time in terms of expectations from the markets. This was the reason why many IT stocks saw profit booking at top levels. The buyback is worth Rs 9200 cr. The Market Guru show had predicted that Infosys stock would open down today.  It was down by almost 3.6 per cent at 12:54 pm on the NSE and was trading at Rs 1346.20.

Infosys has given a strong guidance for FY22 and the levels of Rs 1750 will act as a strong support for this stock, he added. The estimates made by the channel have been in line with the buyback offer, the Managing Editor said. The expectation for buyback size was higher, somewhere between Rs 11,000 and 12,000 cr, he said.

Nevertheless, the weaker than expected results coupled with the price correction in Infosys shares is a good opportunity for investors to buy the stock, Singhvi said. The right levels to invest in this stock are in between Rs 1280 and Rs 1310. Investors should start accumulating this stock at these levels. 

Historically, it has been seen that the stock prices usually go up from the buyback levels. The pressure on the IT stocks that started on Tuesday will give opportunities to buy this stock at lower levels, Singhvi said.  

This advice is for investors and not the traders, Singhvi clarified. You can sell it during the buyback to book profits or can also hold this stock with a long term perspective.
