Official barriers prevent foreign investors from
buying the shares trading in India
Few opportunities in the US to invest in companies
that are growing at 20-30% growth rate
Returns are negatively correlated with assets held
by Infosys
ADRs provides a value addition in terms of
transparency, liquidity and greater coverage than the
existing Indian stock.
Excess demand with limited supply of the ADRs.
Why Were Infosys ADS Overpriced?
Return Behavior: INFY ADS v/s Nasdaq v/s Infosystch
(1999-2010)
Infosys Became A NASDAQ 100
The total outstanding ADRs of Infosys on the NASDAQ was 55,36,86,352, with a
company valued at $25.46 billion (average of $46 per
ADR).
1999- INFY crossed $100 million- listed by NASDAQ, coming at level of elite like
Amazon.com, Google, Cisco, Red Hat, Autodesk, eBay, Juniper Networks, Yahoo,
Netscape, Oracle and many more
In July 2006, Infosys qualified to enter the NASDAQ's
Global Select Market tier and gets a place in the NASDAQ 100 index companies list.
The effect of subprime crisis 2007 on Infosys: net profit grew 9.2 per cent to Rs12.5bn ($314m) on March 2007, which had a growth rate of 20% the prior year.
Market Capitalization downgraded from 27.64B to 2007 to 14.05b-15b in 2008-09.
Few customers cancelled outsourcing orders but many had delayed decisions on IT spending considering the global economic situation of crisis.
Infosys BPO prime client, Green-Point Mortgage lost as it declared bankruptcy on August 20,2007 in the US. GreenPoint Mortgage, a mortgage arm of Capital One (a
financial services company) declared its bankruptcy on August 20 in the US.
Coming up and getting back right- Shifting client base from USA to Europe.
The Downfall Due To U.S. Subprime Crisis
Effect Of The Sub-prime Crisis on Infosys Ltd.
Reasons For Infosys Downgrading
Rigidity on pricing and margins
Conservative and sitting on cash pile
Missing Guidance And Decrease in predictability of Business Model
Original promoters too attached- lack of new blood to meet challenges
Visa Fraud case- resulting in nervous clients
PIGS Situation-Sacking Out Of Italy and Spain
Risks from the worsening sovereign-debt crisis outweigh a goal of doubling the share
of sales from Europe.
With the euro area registering no growth in the first quarter and India’s expansion the
slowest in nine years, Infosys is betting it can do without a slice of the combined 58 billion
euros that (FORR) estimates governments and businesses in Italy and Spain will spend
on information technology goods and services in 2012.
Speculated: European IT market could shrink by as much as 10 percent in 2012 if a
country exits the euro.
Infosys and other IT firms
Acquisition strategy- Infosys has been stringent criteria- risk free but missed out on some new attractive opportunities- which it has started to focus on now, yet shareholder’s perspective keeps a hold onto it.
Delay in focus on Indian markets.
Saturation point due too excessive focus on foreign markets

Infosys is going through company specific problem and not the industry specific.
The share is currently down 8 percent from its 52-week high of Rs 3,020 – underlining the concerns.
Employee dissatisfaction is at its highest.
Infosys shifting base to India through Cloud computing expecting rise in investor interest.
Increase in prices of stock due to win in visa fraud case. (highest in weeks)
Planning to change management.

INVESTOR’S APPROACH TO INFOSYS SHARES
• If you have Infosys shares
• Investors looking to buy Infosys shares
"Infosys has hit Rs 2170 in the last 10 days. That’s a major 50 month moving average so I assume that it should hold here because the next target is all the way at Rs 1974 that’s another 200 points away. So I think Infosys may be at these levels would be a trading bet“
- Anil Manghnani
Conclusion
Focus on domestic markets: Compared to other Indian IT services companies, Infosys started focusing on the domestic market quite late, when it launched a separate business unit in 2008. (revenue goal: $100 million to $1 billion.)
The company's management hinted on a slowdown in the IT industry on account of the troubles in the Euro zone as well as the slower growth in the developed markets. The stock has opened the day deep in the red.
Curiosity arising amongst investors- lack of appropriate communications- whether to hold or sell- two different sides to the story. (Bank of America-Merrill Lynch)
