Infosys Technologies Ltd., a leading Indian technology services provider, Monday said it has agreed to buy Axon Group PLC, a British consulting firm, for about $753 million.

India's Infosys Technologies beat expectations with a 21% rise in quarterly profit thanks to a weaker rupee, and raised its full year guidance on hopes for a revival in outsourcing demand.

All three major indexes finished slightly higher Tuesday, led by energy and bank stocks, as investors processed some not-horrible earnings results. Airline stocks skidded amid concerns about fuel prices and viability.

Stocks traded mixed Tuesday as not-horrible earnings failed to quell market jitters about earnings.

Stocks opened higher Tuesday after a tame core inflation reading, a better-than-expected manufacturing report and news of a Delta-Northwest deal.

India's Infosys Technologies missed market forecasts with a 9.6 percent rise in quarterly profit, and sounded a cautious note for its short-term outlook on global worries that could hit  outsourcing demand.
