Vivendi increases its stake in Telecom Italia to 24.7%, but don't expect much change.

Telecom Italia reported mixed first-half results with weak revenue but better margins. Total revenue fell 9.9% year over year versus our projection of a 4.6% decline. The worse revenue was primarily driven by the Brazilian subsidiary, which reported a 12.2% revenue decline versus our estimate of an 8.3% drop. (Please see our note on TIM Participacoes for more details on the Brazilian operations.) We plan to maintain our fair value estimate and narrow moat rating for Telecom Italia.
