Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call highlighted strong full-year financial performance, record revenue and EPS milestones, clear market leadership in mobile/5G, robust ICT recurring revenue and strategic investments (IDC, satellites, submarine cables) with solid cash and leverage metrics. Lowlights centered on quarterly declines in certain ICT subsegments (cloud, AIDC, cybersecurity) driven by timing and high comparables, one‑off impairments (3G sunset) that depressed Q4 operating profit, international revenue softness, and an outlook showing operating costs rising slightly faster than guided revenue and a significant increase in non‑mobile CapEx for 2026. Overall the positives — sustained revenue and profit growth, market share gains, high-margin EBITDA stability, and strategic wins — materially outweigh the transitory and timing-related negatives.Company Guidance
