Deutsche Telekom expanded its 2026 share buyback programme by \u20ac3 billion ($3.5 billion) to up to \u20ac5 billion after it reported second-quarter core earnings above market expectations on Thursday.<\/p>\n
The additional repurchases will help address the low valuation of the group’s shares relative to their historical levels and take advantage of recent stock-price volatility, the German telecoms operator said.<\/p>\n
The Bonn-based group reported adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation after leases, or EBITDAaL, of \u20ac11.8 billion for the second quarter, up from \u20ac11.0 billion a year ago and above analyst consensus of \u20ac11.7 billion compiled by the company.<\/p>\n
Deutsche Telekom also raised its 2026 free cash flow guidance to around \u20ac20 billion from more than \u20ac19.8 billion previously, reflecting adjustments by its T-Mobile US subsidiary.<\/p>\n
