Telia results beat were better than our expectations as management raised its 2026 EBITDA growth guidance to 3%-4% from around 3% previously despite having previously warned that the third quarter would be relatively weak.
Telia is the incumbent in Sweden, where it holds a high market share and commands a premium price.
Telia’s cost structure remains higher than that of its peer, Tele2, due to its broader geographic presence and ties to the Swedish government.
