Infosys delivered a superb set of Q2 results with margins, revenues and net profits better than estimates. However, the company's guidance and the resignation of CFO Rajiv Bansal were the biggest disappointments following the results.

Dollar revenue guidance for the full year was cut to 6.9-8.4 percent, which has been a drag on the shares of Infosys.

The stock fell 4 per cent on Monday and was down another 3 per cent in trade today. Most noted brokerages are bullish on Infosys stock following its Q2 numbers.
