AI GENERATEDTelecommunication
Telecom operating proxies are steady, with telecom subscriber base up 11.0% YoY (2026-06) and broadband subscriber base also up 11.0% YoY (2026-06). However, persistent FPI outflows of INR -11055 crore over 3 months to 2026-08-31 suggest weak investor appetite. That combination supports a neutral rather than positive stance.
PROS
- Latest quarter profit grew 938.4% YoY, showing strong momentum
- Company has consistently been profitable over the last 5 years
- Institutional investors have been accumulating - FII+DII up 5.0pp
- Company maintains a comfortable, low leverage position
- Company has a consistent dividend-paying track record
CONS
- Operating cash flow has been negative in recent years
- Promoter holding has decreased over last 2 years: -9.3pp
- Company has a low return on equity of 7.1% over last 3 years
- Company has a low return on capital employed of 10.6%
- Poor cash conversion - profits are not backed by operating cash flow (CFO/PAT -0.03x)
