Jio IPO may re-rate Bharti Airtel, says Jefferies; raises target price

Jefferies says Jio’s planned IPO in the first half of 2026 could act as a re-rating trigger for Bharti Airtel, aided by tariff hikes and a higher sector weight in indices. The brokerage has raised Bharti Airtel’s target price to Rs 2,760, implying 32% upside, and maintains it as its top pick in Indian telecom.
