On Friday, Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) reaffirmed its Underweight rating on Wipro Ltd (NS:WIPR). (WPRO:IN) (NYSE: WIT), with a steady price target of INR250.00.
The financial institution's analysis indicated that Wipro (NYSE:WIT) had a strong performance in 2024, surpassing the Nifty IT index with a 26% gain compared to the index's 21.5% increase. Wipro also outperformed its larger-cap counterparts, such as Infosys (NS:INFY) and TCS.
Analysts at Morgan Stanley expect Wipro to issue improved sequential growth guidance for the fourth quarter compared to the third quarter. However, they predict that this guidance will still fall short of the forecasts set by most of Wipro's larger-cap peers.
The firm's margins have remained consistent, attributed to specific company initiatives. Nevertheless, Morgan Stanley suggests that there seems to be a limited scope for positive surprises in Wipro's financial performance, noting that utilization levels are already nearing their peak.
Regarding the company's valuation, the analysis pointed out that Wipro's stock has closed the valuation gap with Infosys when considering the two-year forward P/E ratio. Wipro's shares are currently trading at nearly a 9% discount compared to the past five-year average discount of 16% against Infosys. This reduction in the discount indicates a relative increase in Wipro's stock valuation compared to Infosys.
