Company Report

Vodafone Earnings: In Line With Guidance; Maintaining Fair Value Estimate

No-moat Vodafone’s fiscal 2024 results came slightly ahead of guidance in organic terms, with EUR 13.4 billion in EBITDA after leases compared with the EUR 13.3 billion outlook, a 5.8% organic decline year on year. Vodafone expects EUR 11 billion in adjusted EBITDAaL in 2025 after the divestments of Italy and Spain. We are maintaining our GBX 125 fair value estimate and see the shares as undervalued, although we do not see any near-term catalyst in place.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

The new CEO, Margherita della Valle, is making bold and right capital allocation decisions, divesting underperforming businesses that have been a drag for the past decade and cutting dividends.

Bears

Regulation remains very tough for European telecoms, preventing effective consolidation and constantly encouraging the entrance of new players that drop prices.
