For Infy, the EPS addition is about Rs. 3 per share. They will lose the interest/dividend income on the 3,300 cr. which at 7% comes to 230 cr. so net-net this deal will probably break even on EPS in the near term.
There might be synergies - moving work to India, consolidation of management and sales etc. But this is a pretty expensive deal - at a P/E of 20, they had better be growing like crazy. Axon has been doing well - as these figures show.
I thought they'd get a sweeter deal than a 20 P/E in a slowing economy, but I guess this is what it is. I'm not sure if this is positive - in the near term it surely isn't - but inorganic expansion is definitely a good thing.
