Mobilfunk: „Aktie spiegelt unsere Stärke nicht wieder“: Telekom weitet Rückkauf auf fünf Milliarden Euro aus
Die Deutsche Telekom steht an der Börse unter Druck. Mit einem deutlich größeren Aktienrückkauf will Vorstandschef Höttges ein positives Signal setzen – und tatsächlich reagiert der Kurs.
Deutsche Telekom aims to bolster its share price through an expanded share buyback program, increasing the volume from two billion euros to up to five billion euros. The telecommunications giant's CEO, Tim Höttges, expressed that while the company's numbers are strong, its stock does not accurately reflect this strength. Despite strong operational growth in the second quarter, with revenue up 4.4% to 29.9 billion euros and Ebitda AL up 7.5% to 11.8 billion euros, the free cash flow, a key indicator for dividend capacity, increased by 3.1% to five billion euros.
The company has raised its forecast for free cash flow to around 20 billion euros, previously aiming for over 19.8 billion euros. T-Mobile US, a subsidiary, had already raised its outlook two weeks ago.
