IT services firm Wipro is slated to release its second-quarter results for FY19 (Q2FY19) on Wednesday. Over the last few days, Wipro's peers Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys and HCL Tech have reported good numbers for July-September period on the back of large deal wins, rupee depreciation and strong demand environment. However, the Abidali Neemuchwala-led company may report muted numbers owing to wage hikes, cross-currency headwind and divestment of hosted data services.
