Wipro Q4 profit dips 2 percent but revenue rises 8 percent and buyback signals confidence

A massive buyback follows slowing IT growth and margin pressure

Wipro reported a 2% YoY dip in March-quarter net profit to Rs 3,502 crore even as revenue climbed 8% to Rs 24,236 crore. The IT services business grew sluggishly, with revenue up just 0.6% sequentially. Amid cost pressure and declining operating margins, Wipro approved a Rs 15,000 crore share buyback, aiming to reassure investors.
