Jefferies Initiates Buy on Vodafone Idea, Sees Turnaround Potential with 29% Upside
Jefferies initiated coverage on Vodafone Idea with a Buy rating and a Rs 20 price target, citing subscriber stabilization, tariff hikes, and operating leverage as key drivers for a potential turnaround. The brokerage forecasts an 11% revenue CAGR over FY26-29 and a 25% cash EBITDA CAGR through FY31, supported by network investments reducing churn and enabling subscriber growth. Jefferies also highlights the potential for premiumization due to Vodafone Idea's lower data subscriber share, while noting execution and funding risks. A bull-case scenario projects the stock could rise to Rs 36 with further tariff hikes.
