Telenor ( (GB:0G8C) ) has issued an announcement.
Telenor reported robust operational results for the first quarter of 2026 despite turbulence in global markets, with service revenues of NOK 14.8 billion and organic growth in service revenues and adjusted EBITDA. Performance was supported by solid Nordic trends, particularly in Norway, while growth was constrained by weaker conditions in Finland and a challenging market and macro environment in Bangladesh.
The group advanced its strategic simplification by completing the first part of the sale of its 30 percent stake in Thai operator True, generating about NOK 30 billion in proceeds and paving the way for a planned three-year NOK 15 billion share buyback. Management highlighted a solid financial position that allows both higher shareholder returns and continued investment in Nordic networks, as well as a rising cyberthreat landscape where Telenor’s security solutions blocked hundreds of millions of malicious digital events in Norway, underscoring its role in protecting customers and critical infrastructure.
The company updated its 2026 outlook to reflect more modest expectations, now guiding to low single-digit organic growth in Nordic service revenues and adjusted EBITDA, and flat to low single-digit EBITDA growth for the group. Operating investments in the Nordics are expected to remain around 14 percent of revenues, while free cash flow before M&A is projected at NOK 10–11 billion, signaling continued cash generation but a slightly more cautious growth profile.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:0G8C) stock is a Hold with a NOK160.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Telenor stock, see the GB:0G8C Stock Forecast page.
