Promoters

Sunil Bharti Mittal

Story

Bharti story is more interesting because of the story of Sunil Mittal – who rose from a middle class Punjabi household to a enviable position in India today. Started operations on Sri Lanka and acquired controlling stake in Zain to enter Africa.

Sector

Telecom

Sub-sector

Telecom Service provider, broadband, IPTV, DTH

Website

Positives

P/E is 8.6 times at today's price when compared to 75 times for Reliance – a worth a lot more as well. 67% promoter holdings. 18% FII's and 8% DII's. 1 lakh crore of market capital for a company with 20-25% NPM and good acquisitions. Low debt company until now. The Zain debt was at around 2% interest rate.

Negatives

The Zain debt is huge (9 bi dollar) with a repayment plan of 2 years. The 3G auction costs are huge and that would cost its books for the short term.

Peers

Idea Cellular, Reliance Comm, MTNL, Tata Tele
