5G FWA in EM Hold on for a massive acceleration in FWA demand, Bharti...

When Jio announced it was targeting 100m 5G FWA customers we said this was likely to be game changing for the industry globally, and so it is proving.

Indian Mobile Broadband upgraded as FWA takes off; Bharti price targe...

Jio’s recent FWA figures suggest India is entering an S-curve of adoption. We think this means Jio is set to capture the lion’s share of a $20bn revenue industry (by 2030). Bharti is likely to benefit strongly too.

Indian Telcos Q1 FY25 review: Slower mobile with modest rise in margi...

Indian mobile revenue rose steadily despite slowing this quarter due to softer ARPU trend. Both Bharti and Jio continue to take share from Vodafone Idea again. Mobile EBITDA kept ahead of topline with all three seeing YoY improvements in margin. Overall, Bharti remained ahead on both metrics.

Bharti Airtel (Neutral, TP: INR 1,500, +3%) Bharti Global to acquire ...

Bharti Enterprise's investment arm, Bharti Global, has sought to acquire 24.5% stake in BT from Altice UK. Although Bharti Airtel is separately owned by Bharti Enterprise (through Bharti Telecom), we share our thoughts on why we perceive this to be a likely overhang on Bharti Airtel.

Vodacom has reported a good start to the year with a small revenue beat vs. consensus and trends improving across the board. Medium-term guidance has been reiterated and Q1 SR growth is trending slightly above the guide.

Indian Mobile India's auction concludes - Our final thoughts

India's spectrum auction concluded yesterday with 141.4 MHz of airwaves being sold across the 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz and 2500 MHz band for INR 113 bn (US$ 1.36bn). Our proprietary spectrum analytics tool (SpectrumHub) suggests that prices paid were largely in line with the reserve prices, and close to our original expectations.

MTN (Buy, TP: ZAR130, +45%) Q1 24: Slow start to the year; decent top...

MTN has reported a slightly slower set of Q1 results with both service revenue and EBITDA trends slightly decelerating (again) vs. Q4. We note that excluding Sudan, service revenue would have slightly improved.

MTN has reported a slower set of Q4 results but performance remains decent given the macro challenges the company has been facing. MT guidance has been reiterated which is encouraging.

We deep dive on African Telco’s Fintech valuations in this note which is a follow up of our higher-level note Show me the (Mobile) Money. African Telcos are becoming more active about unlocking value from Mobile Money (MoMo) with MTN’s recent deal with Mastercard and now rumours that AAF is looking to IPO its MoMo business. Global Fintech/Payments multiples have derated over the past couple of years, but we continue to see great value in the African Telco’s MoMo assets which remain one the key n...

Indian Mobile Q3 FY24 review: Still tracking well even without tariff...

India’s telecom industry continue to grow in the HSD, with Bharti and Jio improving at the expense of VIL. Industry ARPU tracked MSD again even without any meaningful tariff hikes; we expect increases to be put through in 2H CY24 though that has largely been priced in. EBITDA continue to trend ahead of topline, with YoY margins improvement across the board. Earlier last month, the government also approved the auction for 10,523 MHz of spectrum which starts from INR 963bn (USD 11.6bn). However, w...

Following a very strong H2 2023, Bharti has retraced nearly INR 100/share. We remain bullish and would see the sell-down as a buying opportunity. Consensus forecasts continue to look too low to us; in this note we focus on the consumer margin, which we think is likely to surprise to the upside.

Bharti Airtel (Buy, TP: INR 1,400, +26%) Q3 FY24 Quick Take: In-line,...

Excluding the Naira devaluation impact, Bharti Airtel reported in-line results for its Indian businesses, with sustained margin expansion again. Indian mobile performance remained strong, with ARPU and revenue growth ahead of peers ahead. Trends also remained strong for Home Services, with Digital TV seeing a nice acceleration post the inflection last quarter.

Vodacom (Neutral, TP: ZAR140, +46%) Q3 24 Quick Take: Decent quarter

Vodacom reported a decent set of Q3 results. Numbers (revenue only this quarter) slightly missed consensus expectations, but pro forma service revenue growth continued to grow towards the high end of the medium-term guidance.

We remain bullish on Bharti long term but having had a good run into the end of the year, we expect the stock to take a breather in the near term.

EM Telcos Q3 23: Faster again

EM Telcos top line growth slightly improved in Q3 to 8.7% with laggards AIS and Telekom Indonesia starting to see improving growth, despite easing inflation globally. Continued strong revenue growth therefore suggests that growth is structural as we have argued.
