Analysts Bullish on Bharti Airtel Dolat Capital said that Airtel registered “strong all-round beat” in its second quarter of the current financial year “across both India Wireless and Africa.” The firm also said that the “strong business trajectory” of the operator and its “reasonable valuations should re-impose investor confidence and lead to reversal of some of its recent underperformance.” “While tariff increase is a welcome potential trigger and inevitable for a three player market structure, Bharti is well-poised to gain market share and grow even in absence of the same,” Dolat Capital said in its report....
