The development of space technology infrastructure is accelerating this year, to our delight. Expect from us more and more research on the topic. A good place to start was to assess the feasibility of the 10-ton, 1 MW space datacenter pitched by Elon Musk. For our first-principle perspective, summarized on a single slide, follow the link. Stay tuned for more on the economics of this datacenter, and its implications on the supply chain.
BT’s Q3 results surprised us. Line loss guidance for the year was improved and despite a competitive consumer market, BT held consumer volumes flat with minimal ARPU erosion. In this note, we analyse both of these trends and in particular look at a bottom-up analysis of broadband KPI trends across the UK market.
Market reaction to Vodafone’s Q3 might be dominated by the weaker German broadband net adds figure, but we think the pricing trends look more encouraging and we see these as a reasonable set of results with all guidance reiterated.
Following the Q3 results yesterday, we have updated our forecasts to reflect weaker-than-expected subscriber trends in the quarter. While FY26 revenue guidance remains intact, the deterioration in customer volumes leads us to reduce our medium-term subscriber assumptions and, in turn, our longer-term revenue expectations. We assess the impact this has on value and the potential for higher future SAC spending.
TalkTalk has reported Q3 results (ending Nov 2025) and will host an analyst call later this morning. Aside from the recent M&A speculation, the company’s operational performance remains challenged with subscriber trends weaker in the quarter, despite new advertising campaigns around the rebrand
The FT is reporting that a nexfibre/ Netomnia deal could be imminent at a valuation of £2bn with a potential customer/ asset swap with VMO2 to follow. In this note we review how this might work and the broader sector/ competition implications given this would be the first “real” UK in-market consolidation deal involving overlapping infrastructure.
