Wipro Reports 12% Decline in Net Profit for Q3 amidst Successive Quarterly Drop

Published January 12, 2024

Wipro Limited WIT, a leading global information technology, consulting, and business process services company, disclosed a downturn in its financial performance for the third quarter. The company observed a 12% year-over-year (YoY) decline in net profit, tallying up to Rs 2,694 crore. This marks Wipro's fourth consecutive quarter of diminished profit levels. Despite efforts to bolster operations, these figures reflect ongoing challenges in the tech sector environment.

Revenue Falls Short of Market Expectations

In terms of revenue, Wipro's consolidated figures reported a 4.4% decrease YoY, reaching Rs 22,205 crore. This result failed to meet the market predictions where analysts had set a slightly higher revenue estimate at Rs 22,343 crore. The less-than-anticipated revenue underscores the intensifying competition and price pressures the industry faces, particularly amidst global economic uncertainties.

Comparative Performance of Infosys

Comparing Wipro's performance with its counterpart, Infosys Limited INFY, also headquartered in Bengaluru, India, offers valuable insights. Infosys is known for providing cutting-edge digital consulting, technology, and outsourcing services across a diverse international market. The contrasting financial outcomes from these firms can often highlight the varying strategic responses to common industry-wide pressures and client demands.
