According to Pallia, Wipro is happy with the momentum that was created in Q1 across a variety of industries and sectors and is optimistic that Q2 FY25 will see improved bookings and profitable growth.
This is not the case for the information technology (IT) industry as a whole, or Wipro specifically, where total discretionary expenditure continues to be illusive.
Despite a cautious overall demand environment, Wipro Ltd. said that it is seeing an increase in discretionary expenditure within the Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) sector.
In a conference call after the company's results, Chief Executive Officer Srinivas Pallia said, "...discretionary expenditures is coming back, at least in the financial services and banking industries and it's also reflected in our BFSI growth sequentially as well."
This is not the case for the information technology (IT) industry as a whole, or Wipro specifically, where total discretionary expenditure continues to be illusive.
The BFSI segment's contribution rose to 34% in Q1 FY25 from 33.5 percent in the quarter before, according to statistics supporting the remark. The division saw sequential growth of 0.3 percent for the quarter that ended on June 30.
The business further emphasized that over the last two quarters, the BFSI sector has had sequential growth.
According to research, the BFSI vertical was one of the few that was not as negatively hit in Q1FY25 as other verticals. Of the seven verticals that the corporation competes in, only two others—consumer and technology—showed sequential progress.
The business made substantial transaction bookings of $1.2 billion in the June quarter, which demonstrated the success of the BFSI sector. Despite this, Wipro's overall transaction wins decreased sequentially to $3.6 billion from $3.8 billion in the prior quarter.
"We booked a fifth of all significant deals above $1 billion, including our biggest victory to date. According to Wipro's new CEO Srinivas Pallia, "Our top accounts continued to grow, supported by a growth in America's 1 SMU, BFSI, and Consumer sectors."
On July 19, Wipro's shares closed 2.8 percent down at Rs 557. By far, the stock has increased by almost 16 percent in 2024.
