Telenor has returned -15% since 1-Apr and has underperformed the sector (-4%).

Servicesthe day driven by a guidance downgrade relating to top-line pressures in Finland

becomes another headwind due to revenue and opex pressures. We model Q2 group J.P. Morgan Securities plc

service revenues 0.5% below pre-Q1 consensus, group EBITDA 2% below and

Akhil Dattani

FCF 4% below. Whilst the recent pullback in the shares may screen attractive to (44-20) 7134-4725

with upside potential from further Asian divestments (although timing is difficult (91-86) 5796-8820

to predict) and an attractive shareholder return story which includes a progressive ankur.baheti@jpmchase.com

dividend and a NOK 15bn buyback program (2026-28). J.P. Morgan India Private Limited
