VirginMedia-O2 (Underweight) Q2 25 – Customer losses and ARPU growth ...
VMO2’s Q2 results show that customer losses and ARPU trends have slipped further in Q2. Although all guidance has been reiterated supported by hopes of a B2B turnaround and near-term cost measures, we think these KPI trends will make it more difficult to sustain organic EBITDA growth into FY26.

Vodafone (Buy, £1.20, +40%) Q1 26: Clearer evidence of value over volu...
Vodafone’s Q1 results do show some signs of improving revenue growth in Germany with a more disciplined approach to pricing. We think Vodafone still looks very attractively priced at the moment, but we believe a longer-term outlook from management would help to underpin more confidence in the investment case.

EU Telecoms: Half-time 2025 Review Sector has outperformed: More sele...
The European Telecoms continues to outperform: up 17% YTD vs. the market up 10%. While this is great to see, adding to the 12pp outperformance in 2024 and supporting our investment thesis of improving regulation, it does mean the equity upside story from here is becoming more selective.

Vodafone to Virgin spectrum sale: More details revealed
As part of the Vodafone-Three merger (VOD3UK), the merging companies committed to sell a portfolio of spectrum to VMO2. The details of that spectrum portfolio have now been formally disclosed by Ofcom, which has published a notification listing the frequencies that are due to be transferred (LINK). In this note, we run through the final decisions and implications for potential UK revenue share.

As we expected, the UK merger completed this morning, so we wanted to take this opportunity to highlight the note we put out on Saturday, in which we published our new model (including the UK merger, and assuming Vodafone buys out the Hutchinson minority in 3 years’ time). The terms of the deal are as initially announced. We believe the value creation is +9p per share, included within our 120p price target. We still see >50% upside from current levels.

We don't usually aim to publish price target updates over the weekend, so please do forgive us, but with today being May 31st and Vodafone's desire to close the UK merger during H1 and at a month-end, we would like to think that the UK deal closing could be very imminent - and maybe even today.

Vodafone (Buy, 135p, +82%) FY 2025: Trying to move the debate on from ...
The broad theme of Vodafone’s results remains the same as in past periods: Germany has been disappointing and has been the main focus of the market, but other parts of the business have been able to offset it, with increasing weight now on Vodacom for FY26.

Liberty Global - Earnings Flash - Q1 FY 2025 Results - Lucror Analytic...
Liberty Global (LG) has released disappointing Q1/25 numbers, owing to weak subscriber dynamics. Revenues and adjusted EBITDA grew y-o-y. Cash-flow performance was mixed, with OCF rising while taxes paid and capex increased. Total debt was up, while the cash balance improved slightly. Management aims to reduce leverage, with asset sales ongoing at VodafoneZiggo. However, LG still plans to pay material dividends. Market conditions are set to remain very difficult, and the near-term outlook is...

The weaker broadband adds at VMO2 reported this morning were only half the story. With the full Liberty Global results, there has also been a material guidance reduction for VodafoneZiggo. We addressed the VMO2 numbers in more detailed in our earlier note here – and now in this note we do a more detailed dive into VodafoneZiggo and how leverage trends could develop over the next few years based on the new guidance and the potential tower sale.
