Why Are the Telecom Stocks In Buzz Today?
The telecom stocks are getting special attention today because of the expected Cabinet hearing today. During the session, the Cabinet could approve the telecom relief package, which will be a huge help for the sector. Also, there are reports that the government might get a token stake in Vodafone Idea by converting its dues into equity. Because of the expected news, the telecom stocks are buzzing, but there’s one huge concern. The government has never stepped in and saved private companies with its money from the budget. So it will be a fortunate strange event in case this happens. Bharti Airtel’s stock has seen new highs multiple times in the last few days. This is just evidence of the fact that people trust the telco’s future in 5G business. It will be interesting to see how the market pans out for the rest of the day for Airtel and other telecom stocks.
