The stock holds the highest quality score (60) and second-highest ROE (31.44%) among six tracked IT peers, while trading at a trailing PE of 15.6 and forward PE of 14.4 — the lowest valuation multiple in the peer group.
Wipro (₹197.91) trades below both its 50-DMA (₹198.91) and 200-DMA (₹231.32), with a 25.66% drawdown from its 52-week high and a 14.17% decline over 12 months. PE of 15.74 is the second-lowest in the IT peer group, while ROE of 15.49% is the lowest among the six large-cap IT names tracked. The company approved a ₹15,000 crore buyback alongside Q4 results that missed revenue estimates and guided for a weak Q1 FY27.
Pros
- ✓ROE of 31.44% is second only to TCS (48.4%) among six IT peers, and has remained above 15% for 4 of 5 available years, indicating persistent capital efficiency.
- ✓Quality score of 60 ranks first in a peer group ranging from 40 to 59, reflecting the composite strength of profitability and balance-sheet metrics relative to IT comparables.
- ✓Trailing PE of 15.6 and forward PE of 14.4 are the lowest in the six-stock peer set (next lowest: WIPRO at 15.74), representing the sector's tightest valuation by earnings multiple.
- ✓Dividend yield of 4.24% and 5-year earnings CAGR of 10.2% provide income context alongside growth; FCF was positive in 4 of 5 available years.
- ✓PE of 15.74 is the second-lowest among the six tracked IT peers (TECHM: 26.99, LTM: 25.77, TCS: 17.63, HCLTECH: 19.54), reflecting a meaningful valuation discount to most sector names.
- ✓Free cash flow has been positive in 4 of the tracked years, and the debt trend is described as flat, indicating the balance sheet has not deteriorated despite muted earnings growth.
- ✓Dividend yield of 8.59% is notable for a large-cap IT company; the ₹15,000 crore buyback announced in April 2026 is the largest in the company's history.
- ✓Revenue has grown at a 5-year CAGR of 7.7%, indicating the top line has expanded even as earnings growth lagged.
Cons
- ✗Price is 19.0% below the 200-DMA (₹1,456) and 18.9% below the 50-DMA (₹1,261), with the 3-month decline of 23.22% accelerating versus the 12-month decline of 19.68%.
- ✗52-week drawdown of 31.76% from peak is among the sharpest declines in the IT large-cap space, with no near-term technical resistance until ₹1,377 — 16.8% above current price.
- ✗BMO Capital cut its price target following what it described as a weaker close to FY26, adding a near-term fundamental headwind to the technical pressure.
- ✗D/E of 9.83 is elevated for an IT-sector company; while FCF has been positive 4 of 5 years and debt trend is flat, the absolute leverage level warrants monitoring against revenue growth of 6.6% over 5 years.
- ✗ROE of 15.49% ranks last among six tracked IT peers and has been above the 15% threshold for only 2 of the available historical years, reflecting weak and inconsistent return on equity.
- ✗5-year earnings growth of -1.6% shows that bottom-line performance has not kept pace with revenue expansion, with profit declining on a compounded basis over the period.
- ✗Price has been below the 200-DMA for an extended period; the 25.66% drawdown from the 52-week high and 15.18% decline over 3 months reflect sustained and accelerating downward price movement.
- ✗Quality score of 46 ranks 4th of 6 IT peers, and the persistence consistency score of 39 is the weakest in the group, signalling structural underperformance relative to sector leaders.
