Shares of Wipro Limited (WIT) plummeted 5.07% during intraday trading on Thursday, following the release of the company's fourth-quarter financial results.
The sharp decline came after Wipro reported quarterly sales of $2.583 billion, which missed the analyst consensus estimate of $2.620 billion. Revenue fell 1.9% compared to the same period last year. While adjusted earnings per share of $0.04 met expectations, it represented a decline from the prior year. Furthermore, the company provided a weak outlook for the current quarter, expecting IT Services segment revenue to be in the range of $2.60 billion to $2.65 billion, which translates to a sequential guidance of -2.0% to 0% in constant currency terms.
The disappointing revenue performance, combined with the cautious forward guidance, appears to have driven the significant sell-off in Wipro's stock during the trading session.
