We model 20 bps quarter-on-quarter decline in reported EBITDA margins to 19.9%, driven by an adverse mix impact.,” said Kotak Equities.”We expect a 3% quarter-on-quarter decline in Voice revenue, while 2.4% quarter-on-quarter growth in the overall revenue. DPS revenue/core data services expected to grow 5%/1% quarter-on-quarter. We see EBITDA margins to decline 10 bps quarter-on-quarter, owing to new acquisitions,” Motilal Oswal said.ICICI Lombard
