Jefferies cautious on growth

Conversely, Jefferies has an Underperform rating with a target of Rs 220, suggesting a downside of over 13 per cent from the previous close. While the Q2 results, adjusted for a Rs 120 crore one-time charge, were in line with estimates, Jefferies highlighted that revenue guidance for Q3 ranges from 1.5 per cent growth to a 0.5 per cent sequential decline on a constant currency basis, excluding contributions from the recently announced Harman Digital Transformation Solutions acquisition. With a projected EPS CAGR of 3 per cent over FY26–28 and a 3 per cent dividend yield, Jefferies described the stock’s risk-reward profile as unattractive.

Market takeaway

Despite strong deal bookings and stable margins, Wipro’s stock faced selling pressure as investors assessed the mixed signals from analysts and tempered Q3 guidance.
