First Berlin Equity Research has published a research update on Telefonica Deutschland Holding AG (ISIN: DE000A1J5RX9). Analyst Kevin Sheil reiterated his BUY rating and maintained his EUR 3.00 price target.

Abstract
Telefonica SA, the parent of Telefonica Deutschland Holding AG, published Q3/24 results last week. Headline numbers for the Germany business continued to show robust operating performance with a solid 33% AEBITDA margin. Driven by solid own brand performance, German revenue of €2.10bn (-1.6% Y/Y) was in-line with FBe (€2.13bn; -1.5%). However, the topline figure was offset by headwinds, due to the halving of mobile termination rates (MTR) from January 2024 to €0.20 and the changes to the 1&1 contract. In our view, the O2 brand remains strong in Germany in what continues to be a rational telecommunications market. We maintain our Buy rating and €3 target price.
