According to the data, the company’s shares have given returns of about 116 percent in the last three years and about 261 percent in the last five years.

International brokerage firm Nomura has maintained its ‘Buy’ rating on Bharti Airtel. The brokerage has set the target price of the company at Rs 2,355. According to Nomura, the company’s free cash flow may strengthen as Airtel’s 5G network expansion is almost completed and capital expenditure is reduced. Due to this, the financial condition of the company is expected to improve further in the coming time.

This dividend of Airtel is a special opportunity for those investors who have been holding the shares of the company for a long time. Investor confidence also remains consistent due to the company’s strong market position, 5G expansion and improved financial performance.
