INWIT Cuts 2026 Outlook as Tenant Dispute Deepens Over Planned JV

Inwit ( (IT:INW) ) has issued an update.

INWIT’s board has reviewed deteriorating relations with its anchor tenants TIM and Fastweb, now including Vodafone’s former Italian operations, following their plan to form a joint venture to build new mobile sites. The company argues this JV conflicts with existing long‑term master service agreements that made INWIT the preferred supplier for new sites and financed a roughly €10 billion infrastructure transaction in 2020, and it has pledged to defend its contractual rights.

Amid rising disputes and pressure from TIM and Fastweb, plus a weak investment environment for operators, INWIT has cut its 2026 guidance and medium‑term outlook, citing halted non‑guaranteed projects and curtailed new initiatives. It now expects 2026 revenues of €1.05‑1.09 billion, high EBITDA and cash generation, and leverage of about 5.5x, while maintaining at least a €0.55 dividend per share, and signals that any future improvement hinges on restoring a constructive relationship with its anchor customers and broader network investment demand.

The most recent analyst rating on (IT:INW) stock is a Hold with a EUR9.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Inwit stock, see the IT:INW Stock Forecast page.
