Vodafone Group Public Limited Company is a multi-market telecommunications company that generates revenue from mobile, fixed broadband, and television services, alongside digital enterprise services such as cloud computing, security, and artificial intelligence. Its operations span Europe, Africa, and Turkey; in the United Kingdom, growth opportunities rely on a base of 28 million customers and cross-selling across brands, while in Africa it operates a financial technology platform with more than 100 million users. The company is also working to turn artificial intelligence into a source of cost reductions in networks, customer service, and procurement through TOBi and SuperTOBi, while commercially leveraging it within enterprise offerings.
In Q4 FY2026 (ending 2026-03), Vodafone recorded revenue of €21.1 billion, up 10.3% year over year from €19.2 billion, and operating cash flow of €9.0 billion. Gross margin was 30.5% and operating margin was 5.3%, but net income remained negative at -€1.2 billion and diluted earnings per share at -0.54. For FY2026 (ending 2026-03), revenue reached €40.7 billion, gross margin was 31.5%, and net income was -€399.7 million; the business mix combines improvement in Germany in enterprise services and broadband, integration opportunities in the United Kingdom, and growth in Africa, while accounting profitability remains a clear weakness.
Q4 FY2026 (2026-03)
When: 2026-11-10
Year-over-year revenue growth at the 10.3% threshold
Gross margin at the 30.5% threshold
Operating margin at the 5.3% threshold
The industry-multiple value is $26 within a range of $13 to $44, measuring Vodafone as comparable telecommunications companies are priced using a median sales multiple of 1.3 for a sample of 59 companies. The median analyst price target is $21 based on 3 analysts and carries low confidence, so it is considered an indicative measure reflecting the growth and expected results in their estimates. The two methods converge in the $20s, but the industry-multiple range is wider and its central value is higher because it is affected by variation in peer valuations, while analyst targets directly price Vodafone's expected trajectory. Analyst targets naturally tend toward optimism, while the cash flow model naturally tends toward conservatism; the valuation pillar in EL7 ranks the company 10th out of 134 within the industry with a score of 94 out of 100.

In Q4 FY2026 (ending 2026-03), revenue reached €21.1 billion, up 10.3% year over year from €19.2 billion. Gross margin was 30.5%, operating margin was 5.3%, and operating cash flow reached €9.0 billion. By contrast, the company recorded net income of -€1.2 billion and diluted earnings per share of -0.54, keeping earnings quality under scrutiny.
Vodafone serves a mobile base of 28 million customers in the United Kingdom and is targeting cross-selling across a multi-brand portfolio and unified stores. The company added fixed wireless access to 3.7 million homes and recorded its fastest year of home broadband customer growth. It is targeting £700 million in cost and capital expenditure savings by 2030, with tangible savings beginning in FY2027, but its plan assumes continued intense price competition.
In FY2026, the enterprise and consumer broadband businesses in Germany returned to growth, and the average revenue from new broadband customers rose 30% year over year. However, retail service revenue growth remained negative, and management expects EBITDA to continue declining in FY2027 due to pressure in television and competition in mobile. It also expects the cash contribution associated with the 12 million-customer 1&1 base to decline as its network coverage expands, making stabilization in Germany a decisive factor for the medium-term cash ambition.

Vodafone operates a financial technology platform in Africa with more than 100 million users and serves millions of merchants. In FY2026, the African business recorded its highest service revenue growth in nearly two decades across its markets. The company sees additional opportunities from population growth, smartphone adoption, and increased data usage, while continuing to invest in next-generation networks in line with demand.
The analyst consensus is Buy, with an average price target of $20.93 and both the highest and lowest targets at $20.93. The median analyst price target is $21 based on 3 analysts, but it is classified as low confidence and therefore remains indicative. The industry-multiple value is $26 within a range of $13 to $44, based on a median sales multiple of 1.3 for a sample of 59 companies.
Vodafone uses artificial intelligence in network operations, outage prevention, customer service, and procurement, and describes it as a driver of cost savings and productivity improvements. Applications include TOBi and SuperTOBi for high-volume calls and complex journeys, in addition to automation in procurement and shared operations. The company also offers cloud computing, security, and artificial intelligence services to enterprise customers, but acknowledges that artificial intelligence increases the speed of fraud and cybersecurity threats alongside improving defense tools.
