Shares of Larsen & Toubro today rose over 4 per cent as the company has maintained 2015-16 sales forecast.

The stock jumped as much as 4.6 per cent to its highest since January 25.

Larsen & Toubro had said on Friday it was on track to realise its forecast of 10-15 per cent sales growth for the fiscal year ending on March 31.

The company's third-quarter net profit jumped nearly 20 per cent.

L&T counts on government spending to meet its growth targets.

“Given investors concerns, broadly maintaining guidance is a positive outcome and stock is likely to see a bounce back,’’ Macquarie says.
