Centrum Broking has initiated coverage on the stock with a Reduce rating.
“The near-term demand environment remains challenging with clients being cautious about the macro environment resulting in longer deal conversion cycle. Consulting business is witnessing certain green shoots. Deals wins remain strong and provide strong visibility for medium term. We estimate revenue CAGR of 7.6% over FY23-26E with average EBIT margin of 15.5%. We initiate coverage with REDUCE Rating on the stock with target price of Rs 519/share at 19.0x on FY26E EPS. The stock trades at PER of 23.2x/19.9x on FY25E/FY26E EPS,” said the brokerage.
Another brokerage Kotak Equities has given a Reduce rating on the stock.
“Management provided the hope of green shoots in discretionary demand, pointing to double-digit qoq growth in the consulting practice. However, a yoy decline in total contract value (TCV) and guidance of a revenue decline at the mid-point for 4QFY24 do not reflect a quick demand recovery. EPS estimates are largely unchanged. Retain fair value of Rs 430 and REDUCE,” said Kotak Equities.
Financial services firm Motilal Oswal has a neutral rating on the Wipro stock.
“We have kept our FY24-FY26 EPS estimates broadly unchanged after its 3Q print. We maintain our Neutral stance as we view the current valuation as fair,” said the brokerage.
Abhijeet from Tips2trades said, “Wipro is sideways to bearish on the Daily charts with strong resistance at Rs 546. A daily close below support of Rs 518 could lead to a target of Rs 483 in the near term.”
