Vodafone Idea Ltd. Emerges as Most Actively Traded Stock

Vodafone Idea Ltd. (IDEA) has taken the spotlight as one of the most actively traded stocks by volume on 1 December 2025, with a staggering 16.7 crore shares changing hands.

• The shares are currently trading at Rs.10.12 with a 1% uptick.
• This significant turnaround has seen the shares rise by 50% in just three months, making it one of the best turnarounds in the stock market this year.

Government's Support Boosts Vodafone Idea's Stock

The government's efforts to ensure the survival of Vodafone Idea have been a major factor in the company's recent success.

• From its 52-week low of ₹6.12 seen in August 2025, the stock has risen by 68%.
• In 2025, Vodafone Idea's share price has gained 26%, while in a year, it has risen by 34%.

Improved Financials and Stronger Revenue Growth

Vodafone Idea posted a narrower loss for the second quarter of the financial year 2025-26 (FY26), with a net loss of ₹5,524 crore in the July-September period.

• This is a significant improvement from the year-ago period, where the net loss stood at ₹7,175.9 crore.
• The company's revenue growth has also been impressive, with a 2.4% increase in the recent quarter.

Key Performance Indicators

• ARPU (Average Revenue Per User) has risen to ~ ₹180 from ~ ₹166 in the recent quarter, indicating better monetisation and an improved customer mix.
• However, Vodafone Idea's subscriber base declined by 1 million sequentially to 196.7 million.
• The company's ARPU remains lower than Jio's ₹211.4 and Airtel's ₹256.

Risks and Outlook

While Vodafone Idea's recent rally reflects improving sentiment, the underlying business fundamentals remain fragile and heavily dependent on successful regulatory and operational turnaround.

• A favourable outcome on AGR dues, sustained ARPU growth, and timely capital infusion are critical for the revival thesis to play out.
• For now, the stock fits better as a speculative allocation within a diversified portfolio, suitable only for investors with higher risk tolerance and a multi-year horizon.
