MUMBAI – Shares of telecommunication companies are likely to see positive movement in the upcoming week amid hopes of improvement in the growth trajectory of the sector, analysts said. Deven Mehata, an analyst with Choice Broking, said the stocks in the sector look good for upward movement. Mehata added that investors expect stocks linked to the sector to witness a good reversal from lower levels. "Indus Tower board is mulling the buyback of fully paid-up shares of the company, showing a rise in positivity about the sector," he said.
Earlier in the week, the budget today projected the government's receipts from the telecom sector at 1.20 trln rupees in 2024-25 (Apr-Mar). This is nearly 30% higher than the revised estimate of 935 bln rupees for last year. This comes after the government auctioned fifth-generation spectrum worth 113.41 bln rupees in June.
All eyes of the investors in the sector will be on Bharti Airtel, Brijesh Ail, head of technical and derivatives at IDBI Capital Markets & Securities said. He added that the company is expected to show positive momentum ahead of its June quarter results next month. As per brokerages, Bharti Airtel is likely to post sequential and on-year growth in its key earnings metrics, backed by subscriber additions, growth in its India operations, and recovery in its African business.
