Analysts at JM Financial estimate that Vodafone Idea may report a net loss of Rs 7,420 crore in Q4 FY25, slightly better than the Rs 7,675 crore loss recorded in the same quarter last year.

JM Financial also projects a 2.6% year-on-year increase in Q4 revenue to Rs 10,886 crore, though it expects a 2.1% drop on a sequential basis. The brokerage anticipates that Vodafone Idea may have lost around 4.2 million total subscribers during the quarter. However, it expects a gain of 2 million mobile broadband (MBB) users, reflecting an increase of 37 basis points.

Similarly, Kotak Institutional Equities (KIE) expects Vodafone Idea to report a Q4 loss of Rs 7,466 crore. It forecasts net sales of Rs 10,899 crore, a 2.8% rise year-on-year but a 2% quarter-on-quarter decline, mainly due to subscriber erosion.

Another key indicator, average revenue per user (ARPU) is projected to remain largely unchanged quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) at Rs 163, slipping slightly by 7 basis points.
