Revenue grew modestly from $10.1 billion in fiscal 2022 to $10.77 billion in fiscal 2024, a growth rate that reflects the IT services market's post-pandemic normalization rather than any specific Wipro underperformance. Net income of $1.25 billion implies a net margin of roughly 11.6 percent — industry-standard for large-cap Indian IT services. The $78.3 billion market capitalization against $10.77 billion in revenue implies a price-to-sales multiple approaching seven, reflecting the market's pricing of the recurring revenue characteristics of long-term enterprise technology contracts and the long-term ownership stability provided by the Premji Trust structure. Share buyback programs funded by Wipro's substantial free cash flow have reduced the outstanding share count and improved earnings per share over the past five years — a capital return strategy that the Trust's long-term orientation supports more comfortably than a company under quarterly earnings pressure would manage. The 2020 attrition crisis — mass departures of junior engineers during the post-pandemic talent war — imposed real costs: replacement hiring, wage inflation across the workforce, and productivity disruption during onboarding cycles. The industry-wide nature of the problem provided some cover, but the scale of attrition at Wipro specifically drew attention to compensation benchmarking that had lagged market rates. The stabilization of attrition rates through 2022 and 2023 as the tech hiring boom cooled was a relief, though it also reflected a broader labor market shift rather than anything Wipro-specific.

Wipro reported consolidated revenue of $10.77 billion for fiscal year 2024, which runs April 2023 through March 2024, representing a decline of 4.4 percent in dollar terms from $11.26 billion in fiscal year 2023. In Indian rupee terms revenue was 897.6 billion rupees, down 0.8 percent from the prior year. Net income for fiscal year 2024 was 110.5 billion rupees, or roughly $1.33 billion, equating to a net margin of 12.3 percent, the lowest in five fiscal years. Operating margin for IT services contracted to 16.0 percent in fiscal year 2024 from 16.3 percent the prior year, well below the 21 percent posted by Tata Consultancy Services and the 20 percent at Infosys for comparable periods. Earnings per share were 20.73 rupees, compared with 22.39 rupees in fiscal year 2023, reflecting both the profit decline and a 12 billion-rupee buyback completed in December 2023 at 445 rupees per share. The market capitalization sat near $40 billion at the March 31, 2024 close on the National Stock Exchange, well off the all-time high of roughly $63 billion reached in late 2021 during the post-pandemic technology spending boom.
Wipro's 4.4 percent dollar revenue decline in fiscal year 2024 reflected a combination of demand softness in three of its four primary geographies and execution challenges that lagged peers. The largest drag came from the Americas, which represented roughly 60 percent of total revenue and contracted by 4.6 percent in constant currency as banking and high-technology clients deferred discretionary spending amid higher US interest rates and recession fears that proved unfounded. Europe, which represents 25 percent of revenue, declined 5.1 percent in constant currency as retail and consumer clients postponed cloud migrations and digital transformation projects. The consumer business segment, including communications and high technology, contracted by approximately 11 percent year over year as hyperscaler clients pulled back on third-party engineering services. Capco, the financial services consulting unit acquired in 2021, also slowed materially after a strong fiscal year 2023 because European banking clients reduced regulatory and transformation spending. By contrast, the Asia Pacific Middle East and Africa segment grew 2.3 percent, and the health business expanded 2.0 percent, both insufficient to offset declines elsewhere. Bookings, measured as total contract value, fell 6 percent year over year to $14.4 billion, foreshadowing a slow start to fiscal year 2025.
Wipro's market capitalization as of mid-2024 was approximately $40 billion, placing it fourth among the major Indian IT services companies by equity value. Tata Consultancy Services led the cohort at roughly $175 billion, more than four times Wipro's size, supported by margins above 25 percent and consistent revenue growth. Infosys ranked second at roughly $90 billion, more than double Wipro, with a stronger pace of large deal wins, particularly in the United States and Europe. HCLTech ranked third at approximately $55 billion, having overtaken Wipro in market capitalization in 2021 on the back of its software products business and engineering services strength. Wipro's premium-discount story reflects three structural concerns the market has priced in: revenue growth that has consistently trailed peers for six fiscal years, operating margins five to nine percentage points below TCS, and three changes at the chief executive level since 2016, which contrasts with the leadership stability at TCS and Infosys. The Premji family ownership of roughly 70 percent also limits the free float and trading liquidity relative to TCS, where the Tata Sons holding is 72 percent but balanced by deeper institutional participation. The dividend yield of roughly 0.4 percent is the lowest among the four.
Wipro has been one of the most active buyback users among Indian IT services companies, executing five major share repurchases between 2016 and 2023 worth roughly $4.5 billion in aggregate at conversion rates. The 2016 buyback returned 25 billion rupees at 320 rupees per share, the 2017 program 110 billion rupees at 320 rupees per share, the 2019 program 105 billion rupees at 325 rupees per share, the 2020 program 95 billion rupees at 400 rupees per share, and the December 2023 program 120 billion rupees at 445 rupees per share. The 2023 buyback retired roughly 4.9 percent of outstanding equity. Dividends have been comparatively modest, with a final dividend of 1 rupee per share declared for fiscal year 2024 alongside a special dividend earlier in 2024, yielding roughly 0.4 percent at the prevailing share price. The Premji family preference for buybacks over dividends is partly tax-driven, since buyback proceeds were historically taxed in the hands of the company rather than the shareholder under the Indian regime, and partly reflects the family's roughly 70 percent ownership, which means dividends paid out flow disproportionately back to family trusts. Capital allocation has otherwise gone into the Capco, Rizing and Edgile acquisitions and into a 5 billion rupee venture investment portfolio.
