IT major Infosys will declare its second quarter profit on Tuesday. This will be the principal set of profit after previous CEO Vishal Sikka surrendered and prime supporter Nandan Nilekani returned as executive of the organization.

“The Infosys Board has two key issues to manage currently-one, ensuring stability by way of managing stakeholder sentiment and two, offering visibility by way of sharing concrete guidance,” Greyhound Knowledge Group CEO and Chief Analyst Sanchit Vir Gogia told PTI.

While multiple short-term tactics like share buyback, employees salary hikes and active client conversations can be expected to ensure stability, it is the concrete guidance that needs most focus and work, Gogia added.
“While visibility on the new CEO announcement is important, we at Greyhound believe Infosys board must also offer concrete guidance on the company’s stand on some of the initiatives that were launched in Vishal’s term, steps being taken to ensure development of mid-management and reduce senior level exists and most importantly reforms that are either already being executed or planned to ensure zero governance issues in the future,” Gogia said.
