FCF inflection in sight Price performance

Why this report?

KPN had a soft start to 2026, but we expect momentum to improve through

the year. The Dutch market remains constructive, while the Odido data

breach should support KPN’s premium, security-led positioning and help

drive lower churn as customers place greater value on trust and network

quality. More importantly, the investment case is shifting towards the 2027

FCF inflection. As fibre capex tails off, we expect FCF to grow by c. 25% YOY in

2027, leaving the shares on an attractive c. 7.5% 2027E FCF yield. With this

inflection now approaching, we raise our TP to EUR5.3 and upgrade KPN to

Buy from Hold.
