After investing over Rs 3.3 lakh crore in building digital infrastructure in the past decade, Bharti Airtel is betting big on financial services, data centres, and cloud for the next phase of growth, Chairman Sunil Bharti Mittal said in the company's annual report. Bharti Airtel has announced Rs 20,000-crore investment in non-banking financial company Airtel Money while its data centre Nxtra recently raised USD 1 billion (about Rs 9,500 crore) as part of its plan to build 1 gigawatt capacity.

The combined market valuation of four of the top-10 most valued firms jumped Rs 92,995.48 crore last week, with HDFC Bank and Bharti Airtel emerging as the biggest gainers. Last week, the BSE benchmark Sensex declined 194.52 points, or 0.25 per cent, and the NSE Nifty dipped 63.95 points, or 0.26 per cent. "Markets ended the week marginally lower, snapping a four-week winning streak amid renewed geopolitical tensions in West Asia and a sharp spike in crude oil prices," Ajit Mishra, SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd, said. Markets started the week on a positive note, supported by easing crude prices, encouraging Q1 business updates, improving monsoon progress, and broad-based buying, he said. However, sentiment weakened during mid-week following escalating IranUS tensions, triggering a sharp sell-off before benchmark indices recovered a significant part of the losses over the final two sessions, Mishra added. The gainers from the top-10 pack were Reliance Industries, HDFC Bank, .

Analysts at Bajaj Broking believe that Bharti Airtel generated a breakout above the 4-month consolidation range of ₹1,740 - ₹1,930 and expect the stock to target ₹2,125 levels in the coming months.
