FPO Review

[Dilip Davda]
VIL is the third largest player in telecommunication services and marked inconsistency in its performance so far against two mega players i.e. Jio and Bharti. It is struggling to come out of the wood and gain ground with more set of user friendly offers. However, based on its financial performance so far with negative net earnings and the second mega issue offer in the last five years are the point of concern. Looking at the interest of big investors, fund houses, and the helping hand from the Government of India may bring this ailing player on track in coming years. Thus, this is a pure long term bet at the offered price. Well as it happened post its RI of April 1995, the scrip marked lower levels then the offer price, and the same may happen now also. Considering this, well-informed/cash surplus investors may park moderate funds for long term and may add on post listing at lower levels to average out the investment with a long term investment strategy.
