Wipro share price traded higher on Tuesday, extending its rally for the ninth consecutive session, led by strong gains. The IT stock has rallied more than 11% in these nine sessions.

The rally in Wipro shares comes amid investors’ interest over the company’s 15,000 crore share buyback programme.

On April 16, the board of directors of Wipro approved the share buyback proposal to repurchase up to 60 crore equity shares, representing 5.72% of its equity, through the ‘tender offer’ route.

Wipro buyback price has been set at 250 per share, which is at a premium of nearly 21% over Monday’s closing price.

Wipro buyback record date is June 5, for determining the eligibility of shareholders. All shareholders who Wipro shares as on the record date of June 5, will be eligible for the buyback offer.

The IT major had last undertaken a share buyback in June 2023, which was worth 12,000 crore.

Wipro had announced that the members of the promoter and promoter group also intend to participate in the proposed buyback programme.

Wipro Q4 Results FY26

Last month, the Wipro share buyback was announced along with the company’s Q4 results.

Wipro reported a net profit of 3,502 crore in the fourth quarter of FY26, a growth of 12.27% from 3,119 crore in the December quarter. The IT major’s revenue in Q4FY26 grew 3% QoQ to 24,236 crore.

The IT major expects a weak start to FY27, guiding for April–June revenue of $2.6–2.65 billion, implying a sequential decline of up to 2% or, at best, flat growth. Management attributed this outlook to delays in ramping up a large client engagement and slower growth from an existing banking client. The company does not provide full-year guidance.

Technical Outlook

Wipro share price is forming a 52-day double bottom pattern on the daily charts, with the neckline placed near the crucial 220 zone, noted Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investments.

“A breakout above this level could trigger a technical pullback toward the 250 region. However, the broader structure remains weak, with limited relative strength visible both in the stock and across the IT index. Momentum indicators continue to lack conviction, suggesting the move may remain more of a relief rally rather than the start of a sustainable uptrend. Volume participation has also been unimpressive around the base formation,” said Jain.

Given the weak sectoral backdrop and absence of strong accumulation signals, Jain advises that fresh buying positions should be approached cautiously and largely avoided at current levels.
