According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TEF is a Neutral.

Telefonica’s overall stock score is primarily impacted by its financial performance challenges, including declining revenue and profitability. The technical analysis indicates bearish momentum, further weighing down the score. While the high dividend yield offers some appeal, the negative P/E ratio reflects underlying financial difficulties.
