Description: LBTYK Liberty Global C January 11, 2026
Liberty Global PLC (NASDAQ:LBTYK) operates as an alternative carrier delivering bundled broadband internet, video, fixed-line telephony, and mobile communications to residential and business customers across Belgium, Ireland, Slovakia, and a broader international footprint.
The company’s portfolio includes value-added broadband features (Wi-Fi, security suites, smart-home services, cloud storage), the Connect Box Wi-Fi gateway, and a multi-screen entertainment suite (Horizon 5 and Horizon Go) that aggregates linear TV, VOD, and a wide array of channel genres. Its mobile offering spans post-paid and prepaid plans, while business services cover voice, data, video, wireless, and cloud solutions for SMEs to large enterprises, plus wholesale access for other operators.
Recent KPIs show a 2024 EBITDA margin of roughly 31% and a subscriber base exceeding 24 million broadband connections, driven by continued fiber-to-the-home rollouts and rising demand for high-speed connectivity in a post-pandemic digital economy. Macro-level, the sector benefits from sustained CAPEX cycles in Europe, regulatory incentives for broadband expansion, and convergent fixed-mobile services that improve ARPU stability.
