We have upgraded our target price from € 43.4 to € 45.3 which factors in the growth strategy out to 2027 (EBITDA +5% to 6% p.a.) whereas the share price implies decrease of 0.65% p.a. The strategic GreenUp plan is based on three booster businesses that should see a gradual acceleration and will involve asset rotation. An accretive re-profiling in terms of EPS, and with no repercussions for the leverage limit, could also show through with minority buyouts for the regulated water operat...
Nous relevons notre objectif de cours de 43.4 € à 45.3 € qui intègre la stratégie de croissance à 2027 (EBITDA +5% à 6%/an) alors que le cours de Bourse sous-tend une baisse de 0.65%/an. Le plan stratégique GreenUp repose sur trois métiers Boosters qui doivent connaitre une accélération graduelle et impliquer des rotations d’actifs. Un reprofilage relutif en termes de BPA, et sans conséquence sur la limite de levier, pourrait aussi intervenir par le biais de rachats de minoritaires de...

>The six main lessons from Q2 2024 - 1/ Mobile prices remain at very low levels (-30% over one year, 30 GO offers starting from € 5) and Iliad has mentioned even stronger competition for June-July. 2/ Iliad continues to dominate in terms of volume (customer base +4% in France over one year) and value (France sales +8% vs competitors 0-4%). 3/ Altice is not recovering despite significant promotions of its sub-brand RED, which creates a risk of extending promotions to t...
>Les 6 enseignements du T2 2024 - 1/ Les prix mobile restent sur des niveaux très bas (-30% sur un an, offres 30 GO dès 5 €) et Iliad évoque encore plus de concurrence sur juin-juillet. 2/ La domination d’Iliad se poursuit en volume (parc clients France +4% sur un an) et en valeur (CA France +8% vs concurrents 0-4%). 3/ Altice ne se redresse pas en dépit des fortes promotions de sa sous-marque RED, ce qui risque d’étendre les promotions sur le fixe et la marque SFR s...
2024 is very much a transition year for TeleColumbus in their TV base, but importantly the core Internet franchise growth remains very strong – and well ahead of Vodafone’s growth rates. This, alongside developments on NetCo/ OpCo we think can be further upside for the bonds, but in the near-term, the cost of managing this transition in 2024 will be slightly more expensive than initially assumed.
Today, our colleague Chris Hoare has published two thematic notes looking at Sub-Saharan African telecoms companies. These focus on the potential for market structures and revenues to improve, and especially after periods of currency weakness (which has been notable in Egypt and Turkey).
Clearly the biggest issue for them is whether the merger with Vodafone UK will be approved or not. As one would also expect they couldn’t be drawn on any new substantive comments on this while the CMA process is ongoing. For our detailed thoughts from May on the CMA Phase 1 findings on that deal, please see our expert call on the topic.
This morning Vodafone finally announced that they have sold a further 10% stake in Oak Holdings (the Vantage Towers holding company) to the consortium led by GIP and KKR, for €1.3bn of proceeds. In this brief note, we run through what this implies for Vodafone and other tower valuations.
As a leader in plastic pallet recycling, Cabka currently operates in a rather tough macro environment which we expect to persist, at least for the short term. However we see silver linings in terms of margin expansion, roll back in Capex costs and tight working capital management which will lead to strong free cashflow generation soon. Though with pressure on sales persisting, (we reduce our estimates), Cabka to us is a margin expansion and positive free cashflow generation story, he...
>Strong operational momentum has continued - Orange Belgium released very strong half-year results, despite the fact the Belgian telecom market experienced intensified competition in both mobile and broadband.
