Telekommunikation: Investor Elliott steigt laut Bericht bei Deutscher Telekom ein
Der Investor soll eine größere Beteiligung an der Deutschen Telekom aufgebaut haben. Statt einer möglichen Fusion mit der US-Tochter T-Mobile setzt er sich für Aktienrückkäufe ein.
Activist investor Elliott has reportedly increased its stake in Deutsche Telekom, according to a media report, and is against a potential merger with the US subsidiary T-Mobile. Instead, Deutsche Telekom, a Dax company, should explore other ways to increase its value, such as more extensive share buybacks, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday, citing insiders.
This stance puts Elliott at odds with Deutsche Telekom's CEO, Tim Höttges, who is working on connecting the company more closely with T-Mobile to create the world's largest telecommunications group. Deutsche Telekom owns about 53 percent of T-Mobile's shares. This plan has already faced resistance, with Reuters previously reporting, based on sources familiar with the matter, that T-Mobile executives had expressed reservations about a merger with Deutsche Telekom.
The exact level of Elliott's stake in the telecommunications giant remains unclear. Both T-Mobile and the Deutsche Telekom declined to comment to Reuters.
