The scrip of the country’s third largest software services exporter, Wipro Ltd, declined by as much as 4 per cent in early morning trade today after the company reported its fourth quarter earnings.
Shares of the company touched a low of Rs 444.90, down 4.11 per cent from its previous close of Rs 464 on the Bombay Stock Exchange.
A similar trend was witnessed on the National Stock Exchange, where the stock touched a low of Rs 444.40, a dip of 4.36 per cent vis-a-vis its last closing price.
“The decline in the stock was largely because of weak guidance,” said Ashika Stock Broking Research Head, Mr Paras Bothra, adding that “the Q4 earnings were not up to market expectations as well.”
The scrip however, regained some lost ground and was trading at Rs 446.40 on BSE and at Rs 446.20 on NSE at 10.09 a.m.
Wipro today reported a growth of 13.77 per cent in consolidated net profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.
Net income from sales for the reporting quarter stood at Rs 8,302.4 crore as against Rs 7,016.1 crore in Q4, FY 2009-10, up 18.33 per cent to Rs 1,375.4 crore.
