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.
The price war at the low end of the French mobile market, which began at the beginning of summer 2024, and which we have written about extensively (HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE), appears to be coming to an end, thanks to some tariff changes that should lead to higher APRUs. We show some new work on tariffs in France in this short report, that should be good for all the MNOs.
We slightly up our estimates and TP ahead of the 3Q25 results on 28 October and the strategy update on 5 November. We factor in the €25m IPR benefit, spread over 2Q25 and 3Q25. The competitive environment got tougher in 3Q25 in broadband, while in mobile competition remains intense in no frill. We expect KPN will achieve its 2025 guidance though, in line with consensus. On the other hand, we have a mixed view on the strategy update. We think KPN will confirm most 2027 targets but will need to tu...
New Altice France debt and equity is now trading. Given the material change in bond terms, and the creation of a new separately traded equity piece, we reassess our rating, and think that at these levels the bonds look pretty fairly valued, and so take the bond rating to Equal weight from Overweight (the old bonds ended up +20% from the lows), and initiate on the equity with a Neutral, as we think that the equity is already implying a high probability of a deal happening, and see minimal underli...

There have been a few recent reports that the sale process for XpFibre has heated up. It has been suggested that a sale might eventually be pulled and the stake used as a sweetener in any eventual deal; but actually, a sale could also be the first domino in the whole M&A process, as an XpFibre sale would help to ease leverage concerns that Bouygues might have from acquiring SFR. We still think a SFR-Bouygues deal is more likely than not by year end, and that Bouygues is the best way to play this...
