Bharti Airtel reported FY2026 consolidated revenue of Rs 2.11 trillion, up 22% year-on-year from Rs 1.73 trillion. However, profit after tax declined 9.8% to Rs 338.2 billion from Rs 374.8 billion. Q4 revenue grew 15.7% to Rs 553.8 billion, but Q4 PAT dropped sharply to Rs 92.5 billion from Rs 124.8 billion due to a Rs 31.6 billion charge for regulatory and government levies. The company recommended a final dividend of Rs 24 per share. EBITDA margin expanded 300 basis points to approximately 57.3% for the full year, showing strong operational efficiency improvement. Auditor's report provided an unmodified (clean) opinion with no qualifications.
While Bharti Airtel delivered strong revenue growth of 22%, the PAT decline is a concern for shareholders. However, the exceptional charge is a one-time item, and the underlying business shows healthy EBITDA margin expansion, which is positive for long-term investors. The dividend announcement provides immediate shareholder returns.
