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.
One of the key questions in European Telecoms at the moment is how successful will Digi be in Portugal, Spain and Belgium; and to a lesser extent, how successful can the challengers be in general: Salt, Iliad Italy, and so on. In this report, we take a top-down look at how spectrum drives success in European mobile, and what that means for future outcomes.

EME Equity Market – May 2025 EME indices mostly in the green in May, apart from Türkiye. The MSCI EM Europe Index added 3.6% mom in EUR and USD terms. The Greek ASE index (+7.8% mom) was the best performer, followed by the Czech PX (+6.6% mom) and Romanian BET indices (+5.0% mom), the Hungarian BUX (+4.0% mom) and the Polish WIG20 (+2.0% mom; all in EUR terms). The Turkish ISE30 Index was, again, the worst performer, with a more modest decline (-1.4% mom in EUR terms) this time.
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.
DIGI has reported its Q1 results today morning. While the revenue growth remained solid, supported by the strong underlying performance from key markets, net profit was quite disappointing in this quarter which came in at EUR 5.9mn, 73% down YoY.

What’s New: Recovery in service revenue trend was delayed by Prepaid competition although prepaid net additions were encouraging. EBITDA growth improved to flat while underlying EBIT was up 6.3% YoY. Management reiterated its FY25 guidance and for it to work, ARPU needs to stabilise given that prepaid subscriber base is now rising again. In terms of shareholder remuneration, the company proposed a quarterly dividend of RM 3.7sen, which is unchanged from previous quarter.
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.
Digi Communications has released its Q1/25 numbers. Revenues rose 19.7% y-o-y to EUR 533 mn, driven by improvement across divisions. EBITDA growth was more modest at 4.6%, while the margin narrowed. Subscriber trends remained robust. OCF generation was solid, supported by the EBITDA increase, while cash generation and capex were largely stable. We calculate net leverage of 2.7x. Management was pleased with the results, highlighting that Digi has delivered another record quarter. Its focus re...

Digi has given KPIs for Portugal for the first time on a LFL basis and has added +68k in mobile and +10k for broadband. This is ahead of the full year run rate in our model, and so if this pace can be maintained, it would be doing well we think.
