Vodafone Idea shares jump 4% to fresh record high but Nomura, other brokerages remain cautious; here’s why

Vodafone Idea shares surged over 4% to a new record high, driven by a significant net profit increase in Q4 FY26, largely due to accounting gains. Despite a near 100% rally in the past year, brokerages remain cautious, with Nomura downgrading to ‘Neutral’ while increasing its target price, citing the need for successful debt raises to fund its strategic plan.
