One can short Infosys above Rs 2800, says Sanjay Dutt, Director, Quantum Securities.
Dutt told CNBC-TV18, "I wouldn’t buy Infosys. I would be shorting it at every level above Rs 2800. I don’t believe that the IT companies particularly companies like Infosys have got their models correct. What we have seen right now is just short covering and the fact that the management had guided down or brought down the expectations to really lower levels. Currency has benefited more than anything else, nothing dramatic coming out of the cash that they have in their balance sheet; we are probably seeing a flash in the pan. Best case situation would be a market performer but I am not a buyer."
