Mixed growth seen for telecom firms
NEW Delhi, NOV 6: Telecom firms posted mixed earnings for the second quarter and analysts expect the trend will likely hold for the rest of the year with service providers lagging hardware firms in profit and topline growth.

"It should rise to Rs 160-165 where it should get fullyvalued. Any further rise from there will depend on how its future strategy succeeds," Asthana said. VSNL shares ended Friday at Rs 227.40. The stock has seen little change since its results reflect the flat profit and sales numbers.
