FWA has reached 38% penetration in Austria today, 13% in Italy, but is just 1-2% elsewhere in Europe. Furthermore, the EC has just made a major decision to dedicate a further 540MHz of spectrum to mobile carriers increasing their bandwidth by 60%.
United Internet has announced that 1&1 will acquire its sister company Versatel at a €1.3bn valuation. While there is operational logic to this combination, the financial terms seem unfavourable for the 1&1 minorities, as we struggle to see a path to breakeven for Versatel.
1&1 reported solid Q3 results, leaving full-year guidance broadly unchanged apart from some capex phasing. The company has completed the subscriber migration to its own network, although site rollout remains sluggish and no progress on low-band spectrum. At the broader United Internet group, results were weighed down by the AdTech segment, where EBITDA fell to zero following a shift in Google’s advertising model.
Utilities: Snam posted robust 9M25 financials, Veolia 9M25 results show continued strong growth, Engie weak 9M25 results – spread tightening limited. Telecom: SES reports weak 3Q25 earnings, BT reports soft 1H26 results, Swisscom 3Q25 results look mixed, Telecom Italia reports solid 3Q25 results, KPN guides for somewhat higher leverage. Real Estate: CTP 9M25 - robust operating trends, Vonovia 9M25 - guidance confirmed
Swisscom has reported a set of Q3 numbers very similar to the Q2s: a small SR miss, a good EBITDA beat, and guidance has been reiterated, suggesting a pull forward of cost out, rather than a more material fundamental improvement. As at Q2, SR trends have deteriorated - Swiss MSR trends are better, but these have been offset by FSR weakness.
With the Telefonica CMD around the corner (4 November), we revisit our 1&1 valuation and reassess potential synergies from German mobile consolidation. We estimate a transaction could value 1&1 equity at €6.7bn (€38/ share, +90% upside) assuming synergies are split equally, or potentially higher if Vodafone were also to bid.
