UBS has flagged mounting pressure on UK retail broadband pricing from proposed cuts to wholesale charges, reinforcing 'sell' ratings on both BT Group PLC (LSE:BT.A) and Vodafone Group PLC (LSE:VOD). The bank published its quarterly review of UK broadband and mobile pricing, describing a market that remains intensely competitive.
European telecom stocks like BT Group PLC (LSE:BT.A) have been caught up in growing fears over the threat posed by satellite broadband, but UBS believes the market has become too pessimistic, arguing that the financial impact on the sector is likely to be limited for several years. Analyst Dhruva Kusa Shah said the recent sell-off reflected concerns that low-Earth orbit satellite operators, led by SpaceX's (NASDAQ:SPCX) Starlink, could erode the dominance of traditional fixed-line and mobile networks.
The chief executive of Vodafone urged European governments to speed up regulatory changes to allow mobile phone groups to develop the scale to drive the investment needed to keep up with the United States and Asia.
Deutsche Bank sees roughly 30% upside in Vodafone Group PLC (LSE:VOD), arguing the telecoms giant is moving past some of its biggest strategic flashpoints even as Germany continues to weigh on the investment case. The broker reiterated its Buy rating, while trimming its price target to 150p from 155p.
Vodafone Group PLC (LSE:VOD) is exploring a merger of its Greek fibre network with that of regional utility giant PPC Group in a move that would create one of the country's largest wholesale broadband infrastructure providers. Vodafone Greece and PPC have signed heads of terms for a proposed 50:50 joint venture that would combine their respective fibre-to-the-home networks and wholesale fibre businesses, with the two networks currently serving more than 1.6 million homes combined.
Vodafone Group PLC (LSE:VOD) and J Sainsbury PLC (LSE:SBRY) led the FTSE 100 fallers on Thursday after their shares went ex-dividend. The index was hit by a 3.5-point drag from five companies' shares trading ex-div.
Vodafone Group Public Limited Company has executed a significant turnaround, consolidating operations and merging with Three UK, driving a 20%+ share price rally since last November. VOD's FY 2026 results show modest organic growth, but Germany's performance remains challenged and customer churn is rising due to competition and strategic focus on value. Acquisition of CK Hutchison's stake in VodafoneThree will push leverage near the top of VOD's target range, limiting capital return flexibility and necessitating deleveraging.
Vodafone Group NASDAQ: VOD said it is entering “a new chapter” as a simpler and stronger business after a three-year transformation spanning its portfolio, capital structure and operating model, while management pointed to continued growth in fiscal 2027 and beyond.
Vodafone share price dropped today, May 12, even as the company published strong financial results, helped by its strategic pivot to its main markets. It dropped to 112p, from the year-to-date high of 121.95p.
Revenue was driven by strong service revenue growth and the consolidation of Three UK, which was partially offset by foreign-exchange movements.
