A mixed bag from Airtel
This week Bharti Airtel posted its quarterly results for the current financial year and it wasn’t exactly a pleasant sight.
Profits declined 62% compared to the previous quarter and the average revenue per user (ARPU) has all but stagnated during this period. The only consolation perhaps is that the broadband business seems to be doing quite well and while it doesn’t seem like much, analysts across the board are still extremely optimistic about the company’s prospects.
So if you’re wondering why there are all these mixed signals coming in, then this week’s Finshots Markets is for you.

What's this craze about "Buy now pay later" companies?
On today's Finshots Daily for 05th Aug 2021.
US payments giant Square recently agreed to pay an eye-popping $29 billion to acquire an Australian “Buy now pay later” fintech called Afterpay. Well, technically they aren’t actually paying $29 billion out of their pockets. It's an all-stock deal. Meaning Square will be paying off Afterpay shareholders with its own stock and there won’t be any cash involved.
But that doesn’t take away anything from the magnitude of this deal. In fact, it underscores how big Afterpay’s business model — ‘Buy now pay later (BNPL)’ has become. And so, in today's Finshots we talk about this and more.
