Bharti Airtel shares
Jefferies double upgrades Bharti Airtel to 'buy' from 'hold', and raises its target price for the telecom major's stock to Rs 900 from Rs 850. According to the brokerage, the company's market share gain in 4G subscribers, hikes in voice tariffs and improving tariff outlook should help it drive 13 per cent growth in its mobile average revenue per user (ARPU) over the three-year period ending March 2025.
Jefferies also says that Bharti Airtel's market share gains are likely to accelerate amid 5G rollouts. The brokerage expects Bharti Airtel to take up a single tariff hike till March 2025. It estimates the tariff hike to be of the tune of 15 per cent towards the end of 2023.

According to Citi, the acquisition of Unison has the potential to improve MGL's long-term growth outlook.
