Wipro (NYSE:WIT – Get Free Report) issued its quarterly earnings data on Thursday. The information technology services provider reported $0.03 earnings per share for the quarter, missing analysts’ consensus estimates of $0.04 by ($0.01), Zacks reports. Wipro had a net margin of 13.93% and a return on equity of 15.40%.
Here are the key takeaways from Wipro’s conference call:
- Q2 IT services revenue was flat sequentially and rose 0.6% year over year in constant currency to $2.61 billion. Growth was led by APMEA, Europe, consumer, and BFSI, while Americas I and healthcare remained weak.
- Operating margin improved 50 basis points sequentially to 16.5%, supported by operational improvements, rupee depreciation, and productivity gains from AI-enabled fixed-price programs. Management is targeting a return to its 17%–17.5% sustainable margin range.
- Q3 guidance calls for revenue of $2.571 billion to $2.625 billion, or -1.5% to +0.5% sequential growth in constant currency, due partly to seasonal furloughs and continued healthcare softness.
- Total contract value bookings fell to $2.6 billion, described as a 19-quarter low, although management said several awarded deals were delayed by paperwork and should be signed in Q3. Competitive intensity remains elevated amid vendor consolidation and cost-takeout projects.
- Wipro reported growing demand for AI-led transformation, including agentic AI, AI-native platforms, physical AI, and silicon design. Its AI-native unit now has more than 2,000 engineers, while BFSI, engineering, and mid-market opportunities are showing strong pipeline momentum.
