hello guys

i just wanted to disuss the kind of wealth that INFOSYS have created for its shareholders over a period from its inception.

a fact: infy toook 23 long years to reach $1bn mark. and reached $2bn mark in just next 2 years (ecpected at this year end).
isnt it amazying........

the actual story:

infy came with and ipo @ 95 per share which was being unfortunately undersubscribed.
suppose if a person buys 100 shares @ 95/share 13years ago.
total amount invested is about rs 9500 only.

after that infy has anounced bonus shares 3 times.so the effect is as:

holding 100 shares
1st bonus 200 shares
2nd bonus 400 shares
3rd bonus 800 shares

after that they went for a stock split of 50%. so due to which the holding went to 1600 shares.

at the time of reaching $1bn mark infy gave 3 bonus shares for every on share held. so the holding shoot to 6400 infy shares today.

now just calculate the returns:

market price as on 13/4/2006 rs 3018/ share
shares holding *6400 shares
_______________________________________
total net worth of it rs 1,93,15200
---------------------------------------------

net worth of about 2 crores of money (rs 9500) invested 13 yeas ago.

Hello Friends,

On 14th April 2006 , the result of Infosys. So now each & everyone is looking towards this stock.

Market expect 1:1 bonus issue from infosys.

Here is very good article on this share. I think you will got necessary information from this article.

When it comes to rewarding shareholders very few companies are as benevolent as Infosys Technologies. The growth story of the company is well chronicled and there will hardly be a market participant who would not recognize N R Narayana Murthy, the bespectacled Infosys Chairman and his garage to riches story.

Infosys is a New Age success story that has made its nondescript proprietor an unlikely millionaire. But the man is not just hoarding all his wealth to himself.
When it comes to rewarding shareholders very few companies are as benevolent as Infosys Technologies. The growth story of the company is well chronicled and there will hardly be a market participant who would not recognize N R Narayana Murthy, the bespectacled Infosys Chairman and his garage-to-riches story.

The company has had a rich record as far as distributing wealth – Narayana Murthy's motto – amongst investors is concerned. In 2004, Infosys not only declared a liberal 3:1 bonus issue but rewarded its shareholders by declaring a Rs 862 dividend for the whole year. That was when the company crossed one billion dollar in revenues.

2006. The company is expected to cross two billion dollars in revenues in the 25th year of its existence and has announced a bonus issue to commemorate the event. In its Silver Jubilee year, market men expect at least a 1:1 bonus issue from the company.

Of, course, the company board, which will decide upon the matter on April 14 apart from announcing Q4 results, reserves all the rights to pleasantly surprise the markets. The company's balance sheet shows a solid Rs 7113 crore in reserves as on December 31, 2005 that will get capitalized to the extent of bonus declared.

Even expert analysts are saying thinga that should make investors jump with joy.

Investment advisor, S P Tulsian says that the market is expecting a 1:1 bonus from Infosys and anything lower than that will be quite depressing for the markets.

Sumeet Rohra of Antique Stock Broking seems to be smitten by Infosys' previous generosity and expects a 2:5 bonus issue along with a special dividend to celebrate the twin events of Infosys crossing USD 2 billion in revenues for fiscal 2006 and its Silver Jubilee.

Infosys loves to match numbers

For Infosys Technologies, one year's revenue is another year's net profit. If this sounds like a puzzle, take a look at some of the numbers.
Net profit of Rs 2,421 crore (Rs 24.21 billion) that the company earned in the financial year 2005-06 was close to its sales of Rs 2,603 crore (Rs 26.03 billion) in the financial year 2001-02.
Similarly, its 2004-05 net profit of Rs 1,904.38 crore (Rs 19.04 billion) almost matched its 2000-01 revenue of Rs 1,900.57 crore (Rs 19 billion). In fact, these figures are a testimony to Infosys' rapid progress in quick time.

Infosys wants to be more respectable: Murthy

These are not isolated instances. Between 1996 and 2003, every third year, Infy's net profit almost matched the sales figure it posted three years ago.
To elaborate, its sales revenue of Rs 139.21 crore (Rs 1.39 billion) in 1996-97 was almost equal to its net profit in 1998-99, which was Rs 135.26 crore (Rs 1.35 billion).
Similarly, net sales of Rs 257.66 crore (Rs 2.57 billion) recorded in 1997-98 was close to its net profit in 1999-00 at Rs 293.52 crore (Rs 2.93 billion).
The company's sales worth Rs 508.89 crore (Rs 5.08 billion) in 1999-00 were even lower than its net profit at Rs 628.81 crore (Rs 6.28 billion) in 2000-01. Again, in 2002-03, Infosys' net profit of Rs 957.93 crore (Rs 9.57 billion) was more than its sales of Rs 882.33 crore (Rs 8.82 billion) earned four years ago.
A Rs 88-crore (Rs 880 million) software company a decade ago is now a $2 billion major. It took Infosys 23 years to reach the first billion dollars in revenues, but the next billion dollars came in 23 months.
For the fiscal year 2005-06, the company achieved standalone sales of Rs 9,028 crore ($2 billion) and its net profit was over half a billion dollar at Rs 2,421 crore (rs 24.21 billion).
The company's financial performance in the last 10 years was backed by its ability to achieve strong growth every quarter in those years.
Data available since the quarter ended June 1997 show that its sales matched its net profit after every eighth quarter till the quarter ended in March 2000. Thereafter, its net profit was either close to its sales or even higher than than that every 16 quarters.
Despite employment cost moving northwards from around 33-38 per cent of sales between 1996 and 2001 to almost 50 per cent now, the company's net profit margin remained steady at over 25 per cent during the last 10 years.
In the last four years, Infosys' net profit margin ranged between 26.5 per cent and 27 per cent. Between 1999-00 and 2001-02, its net profit margin was over 30 per cent
