Mumbai, July 22 (IANS) Shares of IT major Wipro nosedived on Monday by nearly 9.3 per cent over missed expectations in its April-June quarter results and a weak guidance for the next quarter.
Wipro’s stock closed Rs 51.85 down at Rs 505.35, after it reported a one per cent quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) decline in its consolidated revenue in the results declared on Friday.
