Wipro Shares Drop on Weak Forecast and Growth Concerns
Shares of Indian IT giant Wipro fell by 3 percent after the company issued a weak revenue forecast for the June quarter, intensifying concerns about slowing growth and persistent margin pressures. Wipro projected sequential revenue to decline by up to 2 percent or remain flat, attributing the outlook to muted demand from U.S. banking and financial clients amidst economic uncertainty. This disappointing guidance followed a lackluster fourth quarter where the firm missed both profit and revenue expectations. Although Wipro announced record share buyback plans, the negative outlook overshadowed this move, causing its U.S.-listed shares to drop nearly 5 percent overnight. Analysts from Dolat Capital and Ambit Capital highlighted entrenched organic growth challenges, noting that fiscal 2027 could mark the fourth consecutive year of revenue decline. Despite reporting $3.5 billion in deal wins, the conversion to revenue remains delayed due to long-tenure contracts. Wipro has underperformed its peers significantly this year, with its stock shedding over 22 percent amid broader sector worries regarding AI disruption and demand volatility.
