Bharti Hexacom shares drop 3% after Motilal Oswal downgrades to neutral, citing steep valuation premium

Motilal Oswal downgraded the Bharti Hexacom stock to ‘Neutral’, citing a steep 40% valuation premium over Bharti Airtel. The brokerage sees limited upside, despite strong execution and rising ARPU forecasts. Key risks include valuation overhangs, potential merger concerns, and high regional concentration, prompting preference for Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio.
