Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Board approved acquisition of US-based Encora (IT services, FY25 revenue USD 516Mn) from Advent and Warburg Pincus at USD 2.35Bn enterprise value. Funded via share swap - 9.37 crore equity shares at Rs 1,815.91 each to allottees, giving them 21.25% post-issue stake. Also authorized raising up to USD 550Mn via QIP or other means to retire Encora's existing term loan.
Transformative deal creates USD 2.5Bn AI-led engineering powerhouse; not expected to dilute EPS due to synergies and Encora margin profile.
