Nischal Maheshwari, Head-Research at Edelweiss Securities told CNBC-TV18, "I think results have been disappointing and that was expected also. In some of the cases it has been worse than what we would have expected and one particular case could be IT, where the cross currency has impacted all the companies across. Having said that, IT is one sector where one can look at positively given that the outlook specially in the user country which is the US, where most of the revenues the companies are drawing up – that continues to be strong and the outlook is strong. So this could be in a opportunity to pick up some of these stocks on reaction."
