On the National Stock Exchange (NSE), the stock went down 4.27 per cent to Rs 485. Mindtree on Wednesday reported a 1.5 per cent decline in consolidated net profit at Rs 121.7 crore for April-June, impacted by currency volatility, visa costs and one-time impact on business of one of its subsidiaries.
The "temporary volatility" in the subsidiaries' businesses has promoted Mindtree to slash its revenue growth outlook to "high single-digit" from the earlier projection of double-digit rise in top line.
Total income increased marginally to Rs 1,354.9 crore in the June quarter, from Rs 1,347.4 crore in the year-ago period.
