2-Minute Summary

✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Wipro's Q3 FY26 results showed broad-based sequential growth of 1.4% CC in IT services revenue, with three of four markets and four of five sectors growing. Operating margins expanded 40bps QoQ to 17.6%, one of the best in recent years, aided by cost rigor and forex. Total contract value was $3.3B and large deal bookings $871M, though TCV declined sequentially. The Harman DTS acquisition contributed 0.8% to revenue. Management guided Q4 revenue growth of 0-2% CC, factoring in Harman dilution and fewer working days. AI is becoming central to deal pipeline, but discretionary spending remains cautious. Key risk: delayed ramp-ups in large deals and pricing pressure in vendor consolidation contracts.
