New Street: Iliad (Buy, TP: €220, +60%) Q1 21: Tower stake sale to fund 5G capex acceleration - Quick Take

Iliad has reported a slightly weak set of Q1 results, and has announced that it intends to dispose of its 30% stake in On Tower France (€600-€700m of proceeds we think) and that some of the proceeds will be spent on accelerating 5G capex, which means that 2021 France OpFCF will be lower than expected.
