The agency has affirmed the company's short-term rating at 'IND A1'.
India Ratings and Research stated that the upgrade reflects a notable improvement in WIL's EBITDA margins, and thus credit metrics at the consolidated level during FY25'9MFY26, supported by sustained revenue diversification and working capital efficiencies.
The agency expects this positive momentum to continue over the near to medium term, driven by higher contributions from margin-accretive segments and ongoing cost-optimisation initiatives undertaken by the company.
India Ratings further said that a significant improvement in the profitability along with improving profitability from newer segments, while maintaining the gross working capital cycle, and net adjusted leverage reducing below 2.5x, all on a consolidated and sustained basis, could lead to a positive rating action.
However, a decline in the profitability margins and/or a stretch in the gross working capital cycle, leading to net adjusted leverage exceeding 3.5x, and deterioration in the liquidity position, could lead to a negative rating action.

Valued Customer,
BOB Capital Markets Limited (BOBCaps) is firmly committed to the safety of your wealth. We would like to bring to your notice certain precautions that you certainly must take against potential tele-fraudsters/ unscrupulous and unregistered portfolio managers:
ALWAYS AVOID
We would like to caution you against such fraudulent calls and SMSes and urge you to be alert. Follow the golden rule:
Do not share your Login Credentials or Passwords with anybody
BOBCaps employees / representatives never ask for your password.
Certain tele-fraudsters / unscrupulous and unregistered portfolio managers call customers or SMS them on the pretext of providing investment tips and lure them to invest through their bogus firms by promising huge profits.
Such deceitful callers ask the customer to share his/her login credentials with passwords to allow trading in their accounts, assuring huge returns.
Often trades done in the customer’s accounts are far from the best interest of the customers. Holdings of customers are often sold and with the funds, trades are then placed in illiquid securities at unrealistic prices.
At times, the holdings of customers are sold at prices detrimental to the customer. The so-called “portfolio manager” assures profits, which naturally does not materialize. Customers are deceived into providing access to their trading accounts, thereby allowing such fraudsters access to funds and securities available to execute trades, injurious to the customer’s interest.
In our continuous effort to keep you safeguard from the market related frauds and increase awareness while conducting trades, we request you to go through the Press Release issued by the NSE and would request you to ensure that you do not engage with the individuals and entities mentioned below:
