Key Points

Positve
  • Telefonica SA (TEF) reported a solid Q2 with revenue growth of 1.2% year on year, driven by improvements in both B2B and B2C segments.
  • The company achieved robust growth in EBITDAaL minus CapEx, which increased by 11.5% year on year, positioning them well for the second half of the year.

  • Telefonica SA (TEF) continues to lead in sustainability, with Time Magazine ranking it among the Top 10 World's Most Sustainable Companies.
Negative
  • Despite the positive revenue growth, Telefonica SA (TEF) faces headwinds from weaker FX rates, impacting overall financial performance.

  • There are ongoing challenges in the Spanish market, with mobile termination rates and declining voice traffic impacting wholesale revenues.
