Infosys - Highest in perception parameter.

When it comes to investor relationship, which is the name which comes to your mind immediately? Invariably, majority of the people say, “Infosys”. And that is indeed the perfect answer!

As per a report put out by Investor Relations Society (IR), a member of Global Investor Relations Network, a forum for investor relations professionals in India, Infosys tops the list in perception parameters. It is ranked at par with other IR award winners like Cairn India and Maruti Suzuki in technical and visibility parameters. Infosys had also been awarded the number one spot globally for its corporate governance practices by IR Global Rankings.

Having investor confidence and trust is very important, especially in today’s time where we cannot even trust our own kith and kin. And in this era to have a transparent company like Infosys is indeed a blessing. It has set a new benchmark when it comes to complete transparency, setting a new trend when it comes to corporate governance. But few companies seem keen to follow its steps. While on one hand, it seems to be the number one when it comes to investor relationship, currently, on the bourses,  it is trading at a 36% discount to its 10-year median P/E, the widest gap among large cap Indian technology stocks. That’s the ‘trader’ perception as of now.
