Salt has reported another good set of results, with SR growth at +5.7% y/y vs the overall Swiss market at -0.7% y/y. Salt continues to materially outperform Swisscom and Sunrise-UPC. This quarter, EBITDAaL growth has matched the SR growth as well.
Swisscom has reported a slightly mixed set of numbers. Swiss SR trends have deteriorated faster than expected; EBITDA is more in-line, but OpFCF and FCF are both light. We worry that Swiss SR trends will come under further pressure in the run-up to the Sunrise IPO, and as Salt starts to offer a fixed product to more of the country.

Swisscom has announced that it has agreed a preliminary purchase price with Vodafone for Vodafone Italy: an €8bn EV for 100% of the company, on a debt-free basis.

2024 will be the year of the smart home, the acceleration of Europe's fibre rollout, transformative M&A and opportunities around 5G and cyber security. New regulation improves the playing field between telecom and tech firms while declining energy prices are a tailwind for the sector
M&A stories are in full swing, just when we want to be winding down for the holiday season. Such is the life of a Telecoms analyst! The latest press report is that Swisscom is considering a counter offer for Vodafone Italy; in reality we suspect everyone has been talking to everyone for quite some time. We think that Swisscom can get close to matching the Iliad offer in terms of overall attractiveness, which will give the Vodafone Board food for thought.
Swisscom has reported a slightly mixed set of Q3 results vs consensus, with SR trends worse and revenue guidance has been cut (the cut is mainly handset related though). EBITDA guidance is unchanged, and Swisscom is doing a better than expected job of taking cost out.

Swisscom has reported a solid set of Q1 results vs consensus, but after the very strong Q4s, some of the trends and KPIs are a little disappointing. The possibility of future price rises following UPC’s recent move is an intriguing one, and would be incremental to guidance/expectations, but Swisscom was non-committal on the call.
Salt continues to outperform Swisscom and Sunrise-UPC in Switzerland, but it has seen a bigger sequential slowdown in SR growth than either this quarter. EBITDA growth has slowed less, but is down a touch to +4.2% y/y from +4.6% y/y. Capex is up as fixed net adds remain good, and we think that the new P2P FTTH wholesale deal with Swisscom will bring a new leg of growth for Salt.
