Subscribers
The number of active SIM connections on the network. The core measure of a telecom operator's reach.
Average Revenue Per User (ARPU)
Average monthly revenue earned from each subscriber. It shows how much value the operator extracts from its customer base.
Net Profit Margin
The share of revenue that remains as profit after all expenses. Telecom is capital-intensive, so margins reflect both pricing power and network costs.
Profitability
A net margin at or above 20% is strong for a capital-intensive operator; below 5% leaves little room to fund network investment.
Profitability trend
Year-on-year net profit growth below zero (a decline) weighs the indicator toward 'watch'.
