Q4 results 2026: The earnings season has finally begun, with Tata Consultancy Services among the first companies to declare their financial results for the quarter ending on March 31, 2026.
Wipro, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Yes Bank, and ICICI Prudential Life Insurance are among the marquee companies to declare Q4 results next week.
“The Q4 earnings season gathers pace this week, and the market’s focus is clearly shifting from headline numbers to forward guidance. Management commentary on demand visibility, margin sustainability, and structural themes such as AI-led disruption will be critical in shaping sectoral trends. Banking and financials, led by heavyweights such as HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank, will remain central to index direction, while IT stocks like Wipro could continue to face pressure amid global demand uncertainties,” said Hariprasad K, SEBI-registered Research Analyst and Founder, Livelong Wealth.
Indian equity witnessed a volatile week, led by a cautious undertone. Although the indices staged a recovery to end slightly higher, the overall movement was characterised by sharp fluctuations and phases of consolidation, which capped momentum.
Both benchmark indices, the Nifty and Sensex, rose about 6%, ending the week near their highs at 24,050.60 and 77,550.25, respectively.
Wipro Q4 results preview
According to brokerage firm Motilal Oswal, the IT giant is likely to report 1% CC growth, driven by a two-month inorganic contribution from the Harman acquisition, while organic growth may decline 0.5% QoQ in 4Q.
“BFSI and healthcare should remain stable, while Consumer and EMR stay impacted by tariff uncertainty and delayed decisions. Some large deals have seen slower ramp-ups, weighing on growth,” the firm said.
The brokerage firm further said that the margins are expected to contract 50bp QoQ to 16.0%, due to Harman DTS dilution, potential wage hikes, and slower growth.
