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
Sky News is reporting that TalkTalk has begun contacting potential acquirers for its consumer (TTC) and wholesale (PXC) divisions. We also believe that this could also involve a sale of the whole business. We explore our latest thoughts on next steps.
Over the past 3 years, the EU telecoms sector has had a great run – up >50%, despite modest underlying revenue/ EBITDA growth.

Vodafone and Vodacom have announced today that they will be taking control of Safaricom. Given the structure of the deal with Kenyan Government involving pre-paying dividends, we think the deal could offer better than expected accretion to Vodafone’s reported FCF for limited capital outflow.
Vodafone has reported a decent set of H1 results and guidance has been moved to the upper-end of the guidance range (albeit us and consensus were already there). We think there is still a story for the multiple to be re-rated further – and even though there is new dividend guidance today, we also think there is potential for incremental cash return to come at the FY results.
