The reason behind the sharp selling in Infosys comes after the IT services firm's guidance painted a negative outlook for India's technology sector following turmoil at US and European banks.
Infosys' share price traded at ₹1,254.70 a piece down by ₹133.90 or 9.64% on BSE. The stock touched a fresh 52-week low of ₹1,219 apiece earlier in the day.
"Infosys delivered a surprisingly weak Q4, with 3.2% q-o-q decline in CC revenue missing estimates on account of unplanned project ramp downs and owing to one-time revenue impact due to cancellations and specific client issues," said domestic brokerage house Sharekhan.

Analysts at ICICI Direct have also maintained a 'Buy' rating on the stock with a target price of ₹1,600 per share. "We value Infosys at ₹1,600 i.e., 22 times P/E on FY25E EPS," the note said.
