India’s Union Cabinet has approved the waiver of the bank guarantees related to spectrum acquired by the operators before 2022. Vodafone Idea was the key beneficiary of this news as it owed INR 247bn versus Bharti (INR 30bn) and Jio (INR 40bn). As a result, VIL shares rose sharply today. Our brief thoughts below.
Bharti crossing $100bn market cap makes us address the question of which parts of the Bharti/Singtel/Airtel Africa capital structure are most attractive. Bharti has the momentum, but the valuation gap is now extreme. Reversion to the mean will likely happen at some point which means sensible investors in Bharti should now be switching into Singtel (for yield) or Airtel Africa (for growth).
