If Your Mom Invested ₹10,000 In Wipro A Decade Ago, Here's How Much You'd Have Today

Wipro’s share price has been climbing up at the bourses despite the company’s earnings for the quarter missing analyst estimates. The company continued to make gains for the second straight session on Friday, with the stock going up close to 2% to hit an intraday high of ₹401.50.

The Investment: If your mom had invested ₹10,000 in Wipro on July 15, 2013, she could have bought approximately 69 shares at the closing price of ₹143.21 per share. Today, those shares would be worth around ₹27,669, given the current market price of ₹401 per share. This represents a return of over 176% on the initial investment.

Despite modest figures, Wipro’s stock, along with other tech stocks, experienced an upward trend. The main driving force behind this rally is the positive market sentiment resulting from a decrease in U.S. inflation rates. However, brokerages were not impressed by the company’s numbers.
