Company Report

Vodafone Keeps Pruning Its Business Portfolio With the Sale of Its Italian Operations

Vodafone is a telecommunications conglomerate present in more than 20 countries around the world. Its most important markets are Germany and the United Kingdom. Vodafone has historically been a mobile player, but during the last decade it has carried out several deals to solidify its fixed-line presence. Vodafone is the owner of the cable network in Germany, thanks to the acquisitions of Kabel Deutschland (2013) and Liberty Global Germany (2019). These moves made Germany Vodafone’s largest market by revenue, a decision we support, given the historical price stability in this geography.

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.
