Be cautious on Voda; Bharti Airtel & Bharti Hexacom better investment options: Sudip Bandyopadhyay
Live Events You Might Also Like: Telecom industry AGR shows modest 1.7% rise in Q4 FY25 (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our ETMarkets WhatsApp channel Group Chairman,says Vodafone's AGR dues and operational struggles continue despite some positive developments. The company faces significant financial challenges with substantial dues and ongoing customer losses. So, Vodafone remains a speculative stock. Bandyopadhyay recommends Bharti Airtel or Bharti Hexacom as better investment options in the telecom sector due to their strong performance and potential benefits from future price hikes.: The statement is definitely a welcome development from a Vodafone perspective. But we have seen too many flip-flops and too many things changing as far as Vodafone and this entire AGR due related issue. Of course, conceptually we should not have a duopoly and we should have more players and competition, but the reality is Vodafone has been suffering for a very long time. And beyond all these dues, operationally also Vodafone has not been performing well. They are still losing customers on a monthly basis and that definitely points to operational the rate of loss of customers on a monthly basis has come down, but the fact remains that they are still losing customers and that definitely is not a good sign. Of course, the balance sheet needs major amendment, because even at the end of this year, unless something is done, their AGR dues is about Rs 16,000 crore and there is no way Vodafone can pay this amount through internal accruals. So, they need either a waiver or a postponement by the government or some kind of major fund infusion because bank loans are very difficult for them to these circumstances, Vodafone still remains a speculative stock and if one has to play the telecom space, they should look at Bharti Airtel or Bharti Hexacom. Both are doing well and are definitely good buys. Even if we look at the last price hike which the telecom companies took, the biggest beneficiary has been Bharti Airtel. The flow into the P&L has been best for Bharti. One more hike is expected during the current fiscal and that should benefit Bharti Airtel disproportionately. Under these circumstances that is one stock one should look is humongous and we are just scratching the surface. But the reality is, as you rightly said, these have not flown into the numbers of the listed companies at least and under these circumstances, one has to take a slightly long-term view if you are investing in insurance companies. Life insurance is a sector which has got significant potential and amongst the listed companies, LIC merits attention for multiple factors. While the performance has not been anything great in the recent past compared to private peers, the fact remains that the potential is huge and things have started improving at LIC's level and valuation-wise it still definitely seems attractive compared with private LIC from a long-term perspective can be definitely looked at. One can look at SBI Life as well and it also offers value for money opportunity at this stage considering the strength in bancassurance and the strength of channel business as far as this insurance is concerned.

Bharti Hexacom shares fall 3.5% after Motilal Oswal downgrade
Mumbai: Bharti Hexacom's shares dropped over 3.5 per cent to Rs1,810 on Friday during the intra-day trading session on the National Stock Exchange (NSE), after brokerage firm Motilal Oswal downgraded the stock from a 'Buy' to a 'Neutral' rating and set a target price of Rs1,900. The brokerage said the downgrade was mainly due to the stock's high valuation, which is currently around 40 per cent more expensive than Bharti Airtel. 'Risk-reward no longer attractive; downgrade to Neutral,' said the brokerage. Motilal Oswal believes this makes the risk-reward profile less attractive for investors, even though the company continues to show strong performance and growth through premium services. It expects Bharti Hexacom to become debt-free (excluding lease liabilities) by the financial year 2027. The brokerage also predicts that the company's dividend will rise from Rs10 per share in FY25 to Rs30 per share by FY27. The average revenue per user (ARPU) is expected to go up from Rs242 in FY25 to Rs284 by FY27, supported by a likely tariff hike in December 2025. Beyond FY28, the brokerage expects ARPU to grow at a slower rate of 5.5 per cent annually, while overall revenue and EBITDA growth may settle around 7 per cent. However, the firm added that any significant boost in valuation will depend on ARPU growing faster than expected. Motilal Oswal also flagged some concerns. Bharti Hexacom's operations are concentrated in a few telecom circles, which could limit further growth. Additionally, the government still holds a 15 per cent stake in the company, and this is seen as a risk factor -- especially because the government lacks board representation and had earlier raised objections related to the Indus Towers deal, the brokerage said. The brokerage also mentioned that any potential corporate moves, such as stake sales, could put pressure on the stock's valuation. It further warned that a possible merger with Bharti Airtel could be risky, especially if the share swap ratio turns out to be unfavourable due to Bharti Hexacom's current high valuation. Around 12:45 pm on Friday, Bharti Hexacom was trading at Rs1,810, down about 3.62 per cent or Rs68. The stock has still gained 24 per cent so far this year and has jumped 74 per cent over the past 12 months.
