Investment Rationale
Wipro’s Q1FY26 revenue guidance of -3.5% to -1.5% QoQ CC is the weakest ever (except Covid and GFC quarters), implying heightened uncertainty in client decision making due to global tariff war. Guidance factors in a pause in large transformation projects, ramp downs and delays in decision making. Large deal wins were strong (+17% YoY), but total bookings were down 4% YoY due to softness in smaller discretionary deals (down 13.4% YoY) in FY25. Weak guidance implies continued underperformance and yet another year of revenue decline for Wipro in FY26. ICICI Securities cuts its EPS estimates by 5%/4% for FY26/27E led by a cut in revenue estimates and currency (INR/USD) rate. They continue to value Wipro at 18x from Q4FY26 to Q3FY27 EPS of Rs 13 to arrive at a revised target price of Rs 230. The brokerage maintains REDUCE.
