Eutelsat delivered Q4 results above consensus with revenues 5% above expectations, mainly thanks to a positive surprise in government services (up 41% organically yoy). H2 EBITDA also came in ahead of expectations (+4%), although margins ended up 180bps below consensus. The company disclosed EUR187
We have been long-term Buyers of Orange, and are pleased about the YTD share price performance (+37% vs the sector +10%). Some of that outperformance is probably due to the prospect of French market repair (France is 56% of the value), but actually it is the Spanish and AME divisions that cause our target to rise to €15.8 from €14.9 post the Q2 results.
SES has reported solid Q2 2025 results: a modest revenue beat (c.1% vs css) and adj. EBITDA margin +130bps vs css. As expected, Networks achieved double-digit growth (+12.5% organic in Q2), propelled by new mPOWER capacity in Gov (+21.1%) and Mobility, narrowly offsetting a double-digit decline in
Orange has reported a solid set of results, with Telco EBITDA c+0.3% ahead of consensus, and has lifted Group EBITDAaL guidance thanks to AME.

Cellcom has sold its 23% stake for NIS520m (c€130m), and we would assume that Altice has sold its 23% stake for the same amount. In this report we look at the implications of the sales for ATCI lenders.
