Bharti Airtel buying stake in Bharti Infratel may be a bet on long-term story, says SBICAP Securities

Updated : December 02, 2020 05:03 PM IST

Rajiv Sharma, head of research of SBICAP Securities on Wednesday said Bharti Airtel buying stake in Bharti Infratel may be a bet on long-term story.

Earlier today Bharti Airtel had purchased a 4.9 percent stake in Bharti Infratel, the group's tower infrastructure arm.

The purchase was carried out via block deals and are within norms for creeping acquisition -- which limit promoter purchases at 5 percent of equity in a year.

He said, "Bharti Airtel is definitely trying to set a reference value, a downside support in terms of share price of Bharti Infratel."

"Irrespective of what happens to telecom market structure, 5G will need a lot of telecom infrastructure. So maybe Airtel is taking a bet on the longer-term story as well. At the same time, Bharti is a stellar in the tower company. Airtel has suggested in the past the company would like to bring down their stake and improve their own balancesheet," Sharma said.
