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
- Strong cash generation - operating cash flow backs reported profits (CFO/PAT 2.10x)
- Company has been maintaining a healthy dividend payout of 62.8%
- Company has a consistent dividend-paying track record
- Working capital cycle has improved - days down from -123 to -167
- Company maintains a comfortable, low leverage position
CONS
- Recent results are weak - TTM profit is down 62.1% versus prior year
- A large part of profit comes from other income (64.8% of PBT)
- Company has a low return on capital employed of 9.9%
- Company has a low return on equity of 8.1% over last 3 years
- Contingent liabilities are large at 137.2% of net worth
- Total debt has risen sharply - up 48.1% year on year
