Odido (T-Mobile NL) Q3 23: Fixed revenue growth accelerates again; sp...
Odido reported Q3 23 results today. SR trends are good, but slowed slightly thanks to mobile; fixed revenue growth though accelerated again to +12.9% y/y from +10.9% y/y in Q2 23, and on the call Odido said that it expected net adds to be higher in 2024 than in 2023.

KPN (Neutral, TP: €3.8, +16%) Feedback from NDR with CFO and CEO
We recently hosted KPN CEO Joost Farwerck and KPN CFO Chris Figee for a post Q2 roadshow. We provide feedback in this report. All-in-all, we continue to think that KPN is one of, if not the best high quality safe haven names in the sector. We see a possible upside opportunity over the medium-term as OpEx and capex falls post the fibre roll finishing.

KPN (Buy, TP: €4.0, +32%) Q4 22: Slightly weaker 2023 EBITDAal guidan...
KPN has reported a solid set of results vs consensus expectations, and revenue trends are encouraging, but new 2023 EBITDAal guidance is for €2,410m, +0.2% y/y vs guidance at the Q3s of 0%-2% growth y/y, and is -0.5% below consensus of €2,421m. In effect the guidance range has been cut to 0%-1% from 0%-2%, due to a higher-than-expected labour agreement and slightly worse than expected competitive environment in fixed.

KPN has reported a strong set of results, with a good EBITDA result (c+0.8% vs consensus, that had been raised into the quarter), better mass-market SR trends, +2.5% y/y from +2.0% y/y (SME revenues now at +9.1% y/y), and 20%+ FCF beat.

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 netwo...

New Street: European Telecoms Outlook still looks good for 2022
Most people will say European Telecoms hasn’t had a good 2021 – underperforming the market by 8%. However, it had its best absolute performance since 2015; outperformed the US telcos; seen more guidance upgrades vs. downgrades, record high M&A volumes and improving service revenue growth.

New Street: European Telecoms and ESG: Well-placed today, could be eve...
If truth be told, before writing this report we were sceptical about the financial merits of ESG investing; however, in doing the research, we found clear evidence of better TSR from Telco ESG leaders compared to laggards, that those with better Governance (no Government ownership) outperformed the others, and that ESG can help companies in the sector have a lower cost of borrow – these three things alone are good reason enough to look at ESG from a financial perspective in our view.

New Street: KPN (Buy, TP: €3.5, +33%) Feedback from call with CFO on ...
We recently hosted a call with KPN CFO Chris Figee to talk about KPN's FTTH roll. This was the second call on this topic. A write-up of the first call from a year ago can be read HERE. After the first call, we lifted our target and became more bullish on KPN based on the detail we heard. After this call, we think we made the right decision then, and remain convinced that the FTTH roll is the right thing to do to protect and grow shareholder value.

New Street: European M&A update Private Equity hasn't stopped shoppp...
Private Equity has a long and good track record in the sector, with an average unlevered return of 21% per annum compared to the sector at 2% over the same comparable periods. We think that they will continue to do deals – the most recent rumour being a Telefonica fibre deal. We think that there are still opportunities for them to make a good return, be it buying whole businesses, TowerCos or FibreCos. However, given the lower number of direct takeovers now available following recent deals (only...
