Telecom giant Bharti Airtel is set to release its financial results for the quarter ending March 31, 2026, on May 13. Ahead of this announcement, the company's share price rose nearly 2% to ₹1,791. Despite a 5% decline over the past month and a 15.5% drop year-to-date, the stock has shown impressive growth, yielding 125% returns over three years and 221% over five years. Analysts, including Seema Srivastava from SMC Global Securities, anticipate a robust Q4 performance driven by improved average revenue per user (ARPU), increased 5G monetization, and stable growth in mobile services. Revenue growth is expected to be strong, bolstered by rising data consumption and tariff hikes. However, Motilal Oswal Financial Services forecasts a modest 1.6% quarter-on-quarter growth in consolidated revenue due to two fewer days in the quarter. Despite potential short-term volatility, analysts suggest that Bharti Airtel's solid execution and premiumization strategy make it an attractive option for medium to long-term investors.
