Action:Downgraded
Date:05/05/26
The score is supported primarily by very strong valuation (very low P/E and high dividend yield). This is tempered by weakened financial performance driven by the latest year’s sharp free-cash-flow decline and a small revenue drop. Technicals are neutral, reflecting modest near-term stabilization but a weaker longer-term trend.
Positive Factors
Recurring services mix
A sizeable recurring services footprint (network maintenance, operations and ICT solutions) provides steadier revenue and higher client stickiness than pure project work. Over 2–6 months this supports predictability, cross-sell opportunities and durability through telecom capex cycles.
Negative Factors
Severe cash-flow deterioration
A near-total drop in free cash flow and weaker operating cash flow signal material working-capital stress or higher outflows. Persistently weak cash conversion reduces internal funding for capex, slows deleveraging, and raises execution and liquidity risks over the medium term.
