Description: LBTYA Liberty Global January 11, 2026

Liberty Global Ltd. (NASDAQ:LBTYA) is a multinational telecom operator that delivers broadband internet, video, fixed-line, and mobile services to both residential and business customers across Belgium, Ireland, Slovakia, and other markets. Its portfolio includes value-added broadband features (Wi-Fi, security suites, smart-home tools, cloud storage), the Connect Box Wi-Fi gateway, multi-screen video platforms (Horizon 5, Horizon Go), and a broad channel lineup spanning entertainment, sports, news, and niche content. For mobile, the firm offers postpaid and prepaid plans, circuit-switched telephony, and unified messaging, while its business arm provides voice, data, video, cloud, and converged fixed-mobile solutions to enterprises and wholesale partners.

Key quantitative signals (as of FY 2023) include approximately 23 million total broadband subscribers, an adjusted EBITDA margin of ~38 % and CAPEX of €4.2 bn focused on fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) expansion-reflecting the industry’s shift toward high-speed, low-latency infrastructure. The European broadband market is driven by rising household internet penetration (now >90 % in core markets) and regulatory incentives for fiber rollout, while the convergence of fixed and mobile services is compressing ARPU but opening cross-sell opportunities.
