Vodafone has delivered stellar 2025A performance, but current valuation near £1.07/share limits further upside. The stock now trades above its 20-year average valuation at close to 15x P/E, with a dividend yield below 3.7%. Successful UK merger and growth in Africa offset weak legacy European markets, but forward growth is likely to moderate.
Shares fell after the company's revenue missed market expectations, dragged by a poor performance in Turkey.
Vodafone Group PLC said it expects to deliver at the upper end of its profit and cash flow targets for the year, even as service revenue in key markets missed expectations for the third quarter. The telecoms group reported service revenue up 5.4% on an organic basis in the past quarter, down from 5.8% in the second quarter and below the City's forecast of 6.0%.
