Bharti Airtel management reaffirmed its commitment to a progressive dividend policy (FY26 dividend up 50% YoY to Rs.24/share), driven by strong free cash flow generation. While Q4 ARPU growth was lighter than expected due to external factors like international roaming, the company is determined to accelerate ARPU growth, expecting increases from changes in pricing architecture and deeper postpaid penetration. Capex for the coming year is anticipated to remain similar to the current year, with moderating radio capex in India but increased focus on transport capex, building 56 world-class edge data centers within 18-24 months, and investments in new growth bets like financial services and cloud. The company is pivoting towards a fiber-first strategy for homes due to rising FWA costs and expects continued strong growth from digital businesses and mobile postpaid expansion, leveraging 5G SA readiness and AI integration for efficiency. The share swap for additional 16.3% stake in Airtel Africa is seen as value-accretive, and the Chairman expressed a long-term aspiration to raise the promoter's controlling stake in Airtel to 51% through dividends and buybacks.
