Gladiator Stocks - Bharti Airtel Ltd - ICICI Direct

Technical View

The telecom space has come in the limelight over the past month and Bharti Airtel remains at the forefront as the share price has recently resolved from multiyear consolidation supported by Cup & Handle continuance pattern indicating structural uptrend and outperformance, going forward

The longevity in uptrend is well supported by strong volumes at the time of consolidation breakout and makes us more confident

Fundamental View

Bharti Airtel (Airtel) is India's second largest telecom operator with a revenue market share of ~35% as on Q4FY21. The company has ~32.1 crore wireless customers in India and ~12.1 crore subscribers across operations in 14 African countries. It enjoys industry leading ARPU and margins in the wireless business

Fundraise - a move expanding growth war chest (to capture incremental market share and 5G foray) without stretching leverage is positive, in our view. We remain constructive on Airtel ascribing it as one of our top picks. Management guidance of sharp tariff increase by FY22 end will be a key catalyst
