Press reports are suggesting that a Tef-Zegona deal in Spain is progressing. We wrote about that HERE. A deal will be tricky for a variety of reasons, but if Digi is a willing remedy taker and if Telefonica/ Zegona are willing to give very substantial remedies (which is a big if), then the deal might receive regulatory approval we think.

The macro backdrop entering 2026E remains broadly supportive for high-dividend strategies across Emerging Europe and the frontier markets, but the opportunity set has clearly narrowed. After a year of sharp repricing across the WOOD universe, the high dividend conditions of 2024-25 have largely disappeared, as a result of many sectors rerating materially.

Digi Communications has released its Q3/25 numbers and held an earnings call. Revenues and EBITDA grew 14.4% and 6.1% y-o-y, respectively, while the margin narrowed to 33.5% from 36.1%. The improvement was driven by RGU additions. ARPU fell across the board, except in Romania. Cash generation remained weak, driven by a draw on working capital. Capex and lease payments increased, resulting in negative FCF. Net leverage was up sequentially at 3.2x.
DIGI has reported its Q3 results today morning. While the revenue growth remained strong, supported by the continued customer base expansion on key markets, the Portugal segment and higher financial expenses weigh on net profit which almost halved compared to last year.
