KPN completes € 250m share buyback Today, KPN announces the completion of its € 250m share buyback, which commenced on 25 February 2025 and was completed on 25 July 2025. In total, KPN has repurchased 62,465,117 ordinary shares at an average price of € 4.00 per share.

This morning, KPN presented good 2Q25 results, although the equity market seems to have been a bit disappointed by KPN's cash generation in 1H25. Nevertheless, we take it as a positive that KPN has raised its FY25 outlook and remain constructive on its notes. The KPN notes look somewhat attractive compared to some notes of Orange.
KPN reported a good set of 2Q25 results, with adj. service revenues up 3.7% to € 1339m (kbcse: € 1325m, css: € 1329m).

These claims are expected to have an addit...
KPN has reported a good set of results (+0.6% EBITDA beat ex the court case one-off) and has lifted FY25 EBITDA guidance (by €30m of which €25m is one-off related, so +0.2% underlying). In summary, Q2 is like Q1: weak B2C is offset by a good B2B result in terms of SR, and although B2B is lower margin, total EBITDA is being supported by cost out, such that EBITDA is as per guidance and expectations. Is this sustainable?
