Vodafone

(LSE:VOD)

Rating:67Neutral
Price Target:
89.00p
▲(8.54%Upside)
Vodafone's overall stock score is primarily supported by positive technical indicators and strategic initiatives, including corporate actions boosting shareholder value. While the valuation and financial performance have weaknesses, the company's strategic direction and liquidity provide a stable outlook.
Positive Factors
Emerging Markets Growth
Emerging market assets Turkey and Africa continue to grow in Euro-terms, ahead of inflation.
Strategic Transformation
Vodafone is undergoing a positive transformation by reducing complexity, building scale, and improving customer service.
Negative Factors
Cash Flow Concerns
Cash flow dilution is 35% for at least 2 years, dividend cover is tight leaving little room for any further earnings slippage, and the risk is that German mobile becomes increasingly competitive.
Currency Impact
Quarter-to-date depreciation in the Turkish Lira (7%), Egyptian Pound (5%) and African Rand (4%) accounts for almost 1.5% Group EBITDA dilution on a full year basis.

Next Earnings Date:Nov 11, 2025
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The earnings call highlighted Vodafone's strong financial performance, improvements in customer experience, and positive developments in key markets like the UK, Africa, and Turkey. However, challenges persist in the German market and the UK B2B segment. Overall, the positive highlights outweigh the lowlights, suggesting a forward-looking growth trajectory.
Q4-2025 Updates
Positive Updates
Strong Financial Performance in FY '25
Vodafone delivered on its FY '25 group guidance for both EBITDAaL and adjusted free cash flow. The company expects continued growth in FY '26, with adjusted EBITDAaL expected to be between €11 billion and €11.3 billion and adjusted free cash flow growth between €2.6 billion and €2.8 billion.
Successful Customer Experience Improvements
Vodafone achieved best-ever Net Promoter Scores (NPS) in the UK and Germany, driving the lowest levels of churn for both mobile and broadband in the UK. Germany saw dramatic improvements across all products.
Significant Shareholder Returns
Vodafone returned €2 billion to shareholders through buybacks and €1.8 billion in dividends over the last year. A new €2 billion buyback program has been initiated.
Positive Developments in the UK Market
Vodafone reported strong EBITDA growth of 8% in the UK, achieving NPS leadership in the market across both mobile and fixed, resulting in record low customer churn.
Growth Opportunities in Africa and Turkey
Vodafone is well-positioned in Africa and Turkey, with strong local positions and significant growth opportunities beyond core connectivity, contributing to the overall positive outlook.
Negative Updates
Challenges in the German Market
Germany faced a declining broadband base, intense mobile competition, and a significant task of implementing the MDU transition. Despite improvements, market conditions are expected to remain challenging.
UK B2B Market Pressures
The UK B2B segment experienced headwinds from managed services and ARPU pressure in mobile, impacting growth in this area.
Company Guidance
In the call, Vodafone provided guidance highlighting several key metrics and strategic actions. For fiscal year 2026, they anticipate adjusted EBITDAaL for the group to be between €11 billion and €11.3 billion, with Europe's contribution projected between €7.2 billion and €7.4 billion. They also expect an acceleration in group adjusted free cash flow growth, with a range of €2.6 billion to €2.8 billion. The pro forma impact of the upcoming U.K. merger is expected to contribute approximately €400 million to EBITDAaL, despite a €200 million adjusted free cash flow drag due to initial investments. Vodafone also outlined their strategic focus on three pillars: customers, simplicity, and growth. They have implemented significant changes, such as the sale of operations in Spain and Italy, a merger with Three U.K., and monetization of Vantage Towers. These actions have allowed Vodafone to return €2 billion to shareholders while maintaining a stable balance sheet. Looking ahead, Vodafone aims to leverage growth opportunities across its diverse portfolio, including markets in Africa and Turkey, and through digital services, aiming for sustainable adjusted free cash flow growth in the medium term.

Vodafone Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Vodafone's financial performance is concerning, with declining revenue and profitability indicated by negative net income and EBIT margins. High debt levels pose additional risks, though liquidity is sustained through positive free cash flow.
Income Statement
45
Neutral
Vodafone's income statement reveals a concerning picture with declining revenue and profitability. The revenue for 2025 decreased by 1.8% from the previous year. The net profit margin is negative, driven by substantial net losses in 2025, indicating challenges in cost management and revenue generation. Additionally, the EBIT margin is negative, reflecting operational inefficiencies.
Balance Sheet
55
Neutral
The balance sheet shows a high level of debt, with a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.01 in 2025, which is a potential risk. Despite this, the equity ratio is reasonable at 41%, providing some stability. However, the return on equity has turned negative due to the net losses, indicating poor shareholder returns.
Cash Flow
60
Neutral
Vodafone's cash flow analysis reflects some strengths with a positive operating cash flow, although it declined from 2024 to 2025. The free cash flow to net income ratio is not meaningful due to net losses, but the company maintains positive free cash flow, suggesting liquidity strength despite underlying profitability issues.
