Eolo is a business that continues to evolve, with a pivoting mix of growth towards FTTH, likely as a result of increased FWA competition.

Earlier this month, we initiated coverage on Eolo with our deep-dive report. Today, they announced Q3 results and a new €50m equity drawdown option from their main shareholder, Partners Group. In this note, we review this in more detail and where the equity capital might be deployed.
