Wipro shares declined after the Indian IT services company issued a weak forward guidance, stoking concern about the pace of recovery in enterprise technology spending. The forecast disappointed investors who had been watching for signs that demand from global clients was stabilizing after a prolonged period of budget caution.

The company's guidance will now sharpen scrutiny on peers including Infosys and TCS when they report, as analysts assess whether the weakness is company-specific or a broader sector signal. Near-term pressure on Wipro's valuation is likely, with investors recalibrating earnings expectations for the fiscal year ahead.
