India’s Café Culture and Telecom Dreams Brew Fresh Optimism.

Coffee Day Enterprises Ltd (₹50.07) is back in the spotlight, brewing a neat ₹28 crore profit in Q1FY26 — a remarkable turnaround from last year’s bitter loss. Revenue percolated up nearly 4% YoY to ₹269 crore, proving India’s café culture is alive and kicking. The stock has more than doubled from my recommended price of ₹22–24 levels — short-term traders may sip some profits and hold the rest with a stop-loss at ₹46.

Vodafone Idea Ltd (₹6.49), meanwhile, seems to be dialing the right number at last. Its Q1FY26 results showed promise, and a ₹5,000 crore fundraise could recharge its balance sheet. 

In a twist worthy of a Bollywood plot, the Narendra Modi-led government — once the villain for sky-high spectrum prices and  blamed for brewing up the sector’s troubles — is now playing barista-in-chief, keen to prevent a telecom duopoly. Earlier it introduced reforms (Eg. 2021 telecom relief package) to support players like Vodafone Idea.

Interestingly, both stories are serving fresh hope: Coffee Day is frothing with growth, and Vodafone Idea might just be tuning back into relevance.

Therefore, from steamy cappuccinos to buzzing networks, Coffee Day and Vodafone Idea are brewing optimism — but will they serve a full cup or just leave us with coffee stains?
