Description: TEF Telefonica December 17, 2025

Telefónica S.A. (NYSE: TEF) is a multinational telecom operator headquartered in Madrid, delivering a broad portfolio that spans mobile voice, data, and value-added services; fixed-line and broadband offerings (including FTTH, VDSL and VoIP); wholesale interconnection and fiber-leasing; and an expanding suite of digital products such as the Aura AI ecosystem, Movistar Home, cloud, security, advertising and big-data services. Its operations are concentrated in Europe and Latin America, serving both consumer and enterprise customers through integrated networks and a growing digital services platform.

Key data points (as of FY 2023) include €57 bn of total revenue, an EBITDA margin of roughly 30 % and net debt of €50 bn, reflecting the capital-intensive nature of fiber rollout and 5G deployment. Subscriber trends show a modest decline in traditional mobile lines (-1.2 % YoY) but a 7 % increase in broadband customers, driven by accelerated digital adoption in Spain and Brazil. The primary macro drivers are 5G rollout intensity, eurozone inflation pressures on capex, and Latin-American macro-risk (currency volatility, GDP slowdown), all of which materially affect cash-flow generation and leverage ratios.
