Vodafone Group Public Limited Company (VOD) Q2 2024 Earnings Call Transcript

Zegona Communications (LSE:ZEG) shares quadrupled in value after being readmitted to the standard list of the London Stock Exchange on Tuesday. The readmission follows the successful completion of a 150p-per-share placing that raised €300 million (£262 million) for Zegona's takeover of Vodafone Spain.

Vodafone Group PLC (LSE:VOD) reported an improved performance in Germany and in its Business arm although group revenue declined. The FTSE 100-listed telco said group revenue in the first half fell 4.3% to €21.94 billion from €22.93 billion due to adverse foreign exchange rate movements and the disposal of Vantage Towers, Vodafone Hungary and Vodafone Ghana.

Vodafone sees improvement in Germany but revenue falls

British telecoms group Vodafone said it was considering a range of options for Italy, the last of the "challenging" markets it has vowed to tackle, after a return to growth in Germany in the second quarter boosted its top line.

Half-year results from Vodafone Group PLC (LSE:VOD) could provide some reassurance on some key issues, according to some analysts.  "We see scope for Q2 to reassure on Germany and scope for further M&A newsflow," UBS said noted ahead of interims on Tuesday 14 November, against a background where Emirates based Etisalat could increase its stake further above 14.6% and the FTSE 100 group also said to be considering options in Italy after agreeing to sell its Spanish business for €5 billion at the end of last month.

Vodafone interims could reassure on Germany, but are tougher times still ahead?

Vodafone's stock price has dropped to $9.50, with analysts recommending a hold and Wall Street recommending a strong buy. The bear case on Vodafone is centered around stagnant revenue and a potentially at-risk dividend. However, I believe that Vodafone is a steal at its current pricing due to management's turnaround plan and depressed valuation multiples.
