Wipro Ltd.<\/a> is set to announce its March-quarter results on April 16, with investors closely watching whether the IT major can finally meet or exceed dividend expectations after missing estimates for seven consecutive years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company is expected to declare its FY26 dividend alongside a potential decision on a share buyback. According to Bloomberg-tracked analysts, the consensus estimate for the dividend stands at \u20b910.56 per share, with projections ranging widely between \u20b94 and \u20b917 per share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s payout carries added significance as Wipro has committed to distributing over 70% of its net income to shareholders between FY26 and FY28. A dividend in line with or above estimates could signal stronger execution of this capital allocation strategy and improve investor confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wide range in analyst estimates highlights uncertainty over how aggressively the company will return cash. Market participants are also focused on the possibility of a buyback, which would be Wipro\u2019s first in three years. Brokerages estimate the buyback size could range between \u20b916,000 crore and \u20b918,500 crore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With cash reserves of \u20b941,510 crore at the end of the December quarter among the highest in India\u2019s top IT firms<\/a>. Wipro has significant room for shareholder payouts. Analysts, including Morgan Stanley, note that a buyback move is already largely priced in by the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A strong dividend or buyback announcement could help Wipro<\/a> break its past trend and reset expectations, especially at a time when investors are seeking consistent returns from IT stocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
