Should You Buy?

The financials of the company show a volatile trend over the last two years. The company reported net losses of Rs (23420) crore in FY21 and Rs (33618) crore for FY20. However for Q1FY22, the company has recorded net profits of Rs 941.40 crore. The Debt to equity ratio of 1.65x as on 31st March 2021 is at a higher side. This may come down slightly as the company plans to repay certain borrowings from the right issue proceeds. Looking at the business prospects of Airtel, it has an advantage from weakening of VIL and the sector benefits from Digital India initiatives . The Rights Entitlement were quoting a premium of Rs 156.40 per share (premium is difference between CMP and Rights price) as of 6th Oct. The scrip traded at Rs 691.40 as on 6th oct. Shareholders may  consider buying with a long term perspective.
