Bharti Airtel Q1 preview: Brokerages see up to 198% on-year PAT growth on subscriber gains, stable ARPU

Telecom major Bharti Airtel will announce its Q1 earnings on Tuesday, August 5 where the company is expected to report a healthy set of numbers for the first quarter of FY26, with analysts expecting solid year-on-year growth in profits, revenues, and EBITDA.

Subscriber additions, especially in the 4G segment, moderate improvement in ARPU, and continued momentum in Africa operations are expected to be key drivers.
