Infosys Q3 results: 5 things to watch for tomorrow

Bengaluru: Another quarter and another downward revision in growth. Infosys Ltd is expected by at least three brokerages to scale down its full-year dollar revenue growth for the third time this year when India’s second-largest software firm declares its third quarter results on Friday. This is not surprising, considering the negative cross currency impact and also partially, on account of management’s inability to give a firm guidance. Still, 2015-16 is turning out to be roller-coaster ride for Infosys chief executive officer (CEO) Vishal Sikka.

DCB Bank Q3 net up 25% to Rs 51 crore

Small-time private sector lender DCB Bank on Friday reported a 25 per cent surge in December quarter net at Rs 51 crore, driven primarily by a surge in the core interest income. The city-based lender had reported a post tax profit of Rs 41 crore in the year-ago period. Its net interest income rose 31 per cent to Rs 209 crore, while the non-interest income was up 36 crore to Rs 64 crore during the reporting quarter. The share of low-cost current and savings account balances increased to 25.85 per cent as on December 31, from the 21.91 per cent three months ago, on the back of a surge in deposits following the move to scrap Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes by the Central government. The surge in deposits, coupled with a massive slowdown in advances (which grew only two per cent sequentially) led to a drop in the credit-deposit ratio to 77.41 per cent from 83.33 per cent in the year-ago period. The bank's net interest margin was down 3.95 per cent as against 3.96 per cent in the year-ago per...
