Country🇩🇪Germany

SectorTechnology

IndustryTelecommunication Services

Resells mobile and broadband services across Germany rather than owning network infrastructure, betting on smart bundling over cell towers. It's quietly one of Germany's largest independent telecom providers, turning wireless contracts and TV subscriptions into steady, unglamorous cash flow.

GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Revenue is set to grow 10%/yr over the next 3 years, ahead of most of the market.7/10

Revenue grew 2%/yr over the last 3 years and is set to grow 10%/yr from here.

WATCH

A mid-pack grower, ahead of 57% of companies worldwide.

Over five years revenue is set to grow 6%/yr, about average versus companies worldwide.5/10

Earnings are set to grow in step with sales (EPS about 11%/yr vs revenue 10%/yr). One year dips: EPS falls 12% next year.

WEAKNESSES

Revenue grew 2%/yr over the last 3 years, behind 70% of companies worldwide.3/10

BOTTOM LINE

Reaccelerating Grower

A middle-of-the-pack grower that's speeding up. The one thing to watch: the 3-year revenue record is weak.

MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

Average long-term results. Multi-year returns are middling (+22% over three years and +40% over five), roughly average for the market.

Returns sit at the market level over three months (-6%).

WEAKNESSES

It's down 9% over the past year, now 28% below its 52-week high. That is a touch behind the market.

The stock is underperforming over the past month (-9%) and so far this year (-18%).

BOTTOM LINE

Falling Knife

Returns rank poorly over both the short and long run, and the price is still falling. Momentum is firmly negative — catching this is a bet against the tape, not with it. Wait for a base to form. The one thing to watch: the one-year trend is weak.
