Bharti Airtel to Gain the Most Out of Vodafone Idea

Bharti Airtel’s stock has risen in the last couple of days. The reason primarily being the downfall of the Vodafone Idea (Vi). Vi’s shares have fallen very rapidly for consecutive days, and fearing a further fall, the investors have flocked towards Bharti Airtel and Reliance Industries Limited’s stocks. Bharti Airtel’s stock gained as much as 8% nearing its record high price. Investors are particularly happy and positive about the future of Bharti Airtel in India. Analysts have predicted that Vodafone Idea customers will largely be moving towards the networks of Bharti Airtel.

Bharti Airtel ARPU Rise, Tariff Hike, and Future Plans a Big Factor

Bharti Airtel is a good company for long-term investors since the rise in its stock price came even when there’s no tariff hike and no relief provided for the sector. The telco even has adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues to pay to the government.

The company’s stock should see a major upward trend in the coming months, with tariff hikes kicking in, average revenue per user (ARPU) going upwards, and 5G services coming into the fold. But the biggest advantage for Bharti Airtel would be the exit of Vodafone Idea. Vi’s 2G customers will flock to the network of Bharti Airtel, and it would create a buzz of new low ARPU customers for the telco.

With Jio’s 4G networks, there’s an entry-barrier of low-end 4G smartphones, which the telco is looking to resolve by launching the JioPhone Next on September 10, 2021, in India. With Bharti Airtel, even Reliance Jio will gain new subscribers from the downfall of Vodafone Idea.
