Why is Vodafone Idea Share Price Falling on Monday (May 18, 2026)

Vodafone Idea results were positive, but the net profit was an exception due to a change in books for AGR (adjusted gross revenue) dues. The reality is, this net profit isn’t positive cashflow for the telco in an immediate sense. Thus, the market has likely anticipated that it is not worth overvaluing the company at the moment.
