NSEI:WIPRO Earnings and Revenue Growth April 19th 2025 Taking into account the latest results, Wipro's 43 analysts currently expect revenues in 2026 to be ₹895.4b, approximately in line with the last 12 months. Statutory per share are forecast to be ₹12.57, approximately in line with the last 12 months. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of ₹937.5b and earnings per share (EPS) of ₹12.96 in 2026. The analysts are less bullish than they were before these results, given the reduced revenue forecasts and the minor downgrade to earnings per share expectations. Check out our latest analysis for Wipro The consensus price target fell 10% to ₹249, with the weaker earnings outlook clearly leading valuation estimates. The consensus price target is just an average of individual analyst targets, so - it could be handy to see how wide the range of underlying estimates is. Currently, the most bullish analyst values Wipro at ₹300 per share, while the most bearish prices it at ₹200. Analysts definitely have varying views on the business, but the spread of estimates is not wide enough in our view to suggest that extreme outcomes could await Wipro shareholders. Another way we can view these estimates is in the context of the bigger picture, such as how the forecasts stack up against past performance, and whether forecasts are more or less bullish relative to other companies in the industry. It's pretty clear that there is an expectation that Wipro's revenue growth will slow down substantially, with revenues to the end of 2026 expected to display 0.5% growth on an annualised basis. This is compared to a historical growth rate of 9.2% over the past five years. By way of comparison, the other companies in this industry with analyst coverage are forecast to grow their revenue at 7.1% per year. So it's pretty clear that, while revenue growth is expected to slow down, the wider industry is also expected to grow faster than Wipro. The Bottom Line The biggest concern is that the analysts reduced their earnings per share estimates, suggesting business headwinds could lay ahead for Wipro. On the negative side, they also downgraded their revenue estimates, and forecasts imply they will perform worse than the wider industry. Furthermore, the analysts also cut their price targets, suggesting that the latest news has led to greater pessimism about the intrinsic value of the business. With that said, the long-term trajectory of the company's earnings is a lot more important than next year.
