KPN - High-fiber snack KPN NA

This note will explore the business case for fiber, following KPN’s ramp-up of investment, with the aim to reach 80% coverage in the Neths by 2026. Apart from building a separate P&L for KPN’s standalone fiber activities and its JV with APG, we’ll also look at the competitive fiber landscape in the Neths. While we believe the market is warming to the idea that fiber can create value in the long-term, we still think it discounts the upside of KPN having the largest footprint in the Neths, a network advantage vs. peers, and the high security of future CFs. Our new TP of € 3.60ps is the result of SOTP valuation that values the NetCo, Glaspoort, and ServiceCo separately. With 20% upside, we upgrade to BUY from Accumulate.
