Wipro Shares Rise After Q2, But Brokerages Flag Weak Growth

Wipro's shares rose 2% after Q2 results showed a 1.4% YoY net profit decline, but 9.1% revenue growth. IT services revenue grew just 0.3% YoY, with margins improving to 16.5%. Brokerages expressed concerns about weak deal bookings and cautious Q3 guidance, citing delays in large deals and uneven demand across segments. Gartner noted strong cash conversion and margin discipline, but growth remains a concern.
