New Street: Telenor (Neutral, TP: NOK150, +9%) Q3 21: Weak numbers, EBITDA guidance cut - Quick Take

Telenor has reported a weak set of Q3 results, with revenue 0.5% light vs consensus and EBITDA -2.3% light (-0.1% and -3.4% light ex the Asian assets that have already reported). S&T revenue is -1.3% light. This is not a good set of numbers from Telenor, with misses at the revenue and EBITDA level spread across the board, and Telenor is now saying that EBITDA will be at the low end of the guidance range – but do remember that guidance includes some one-offs (3% drag to EBITDA y/y growth rates this quarter), and so although trends are going in the wrong direction, outlook is not quite as bad as it seems.
