· Moneycontrol Buzzing
As per industry estimates, Vodafone Idea#39;s dues to Indus Towers at about Rs 7,000 crore. The brokerage also notes that Vodafone Idea’s past dues settlement of Rs 5,700 Cr "could be worth an incremental Rs 21 per share."
The analysis
Indus Towers reported Rs 7,000 crore, Rs 5,700 Cr and Rs 21, with movement of 4% attached to those lines. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.
Against that, the stock is -1.8% on the day at ₹378.30, and has returned -2.5% over three months. It sits 21% below its 52-week high. The telecom & media sector has moved +4.2% over the same period, so Indus Towers is running 6.7 points behind its peers.
For Indus Towers, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the telecom & media peer set alongside it.
