Tele2 AB ( ($SE:TEL2.B) ) just unveiled an update.

Tele2 reported a solid start to 2026, with end‑user service revenue up 3% organically to SEK 5.5 billion and total revenue rising 3% to SEK 7.2 billion, driven by growth across all operations. Underlying EBITDAaL increased 11% organically to SEK 2.9 billion on strict cost control, while the Sweden Business segment benefited from strong IoT demand and the Baltics continued to perform strongly.

Net profit jumped to SEK 6.4 billion from SEK 875 million a year earlier, largely due to a SEK 5.1 billion capital gain from the creation of a pan‑Baltic tower company. The completed Baltic tower transaction delivered SEK 4.7 billion in cash proceeds, strengthened equity free cash flow to SEK 2.2 billion in the quarter, lowered economic net debt to 1.5x underlying EBITDAaL, and supports continued 5G rollout as Tele2 reiterated its full‑year 2026 guidance.
