Quality score57.8 / 100

Cut-offs are the grader's own: 97+ for an A+, below 60 is an F.

Bharti Airtel Limited earns a F on good profit margins (>10%) and strong ROE (>20%) but current ratio below 1.0 (liquidity concerns) and high debt-to-equity ratio (>2.0). Consider alternatives with better risk/reward profiles.
