Deutsche Telekom will start to collect the usual sell side analyst estimates for Q3/2026 on 2nd of October 2026.
The following points DT has given analysts to remind when compiling their projections:
- FX: As always, please keep in mind that each 1cent move in the $US between balance sheet dates corresponds to approximately €1bn change in net debt. The $US exchange rate was 1,136 at 30 September 2026 vs. 1,139 at 30 June 2026.
- DT buyback: In Q3 we bought approx. 0.75bn € worth of DT shares
- TMUS spectrum: In August 2026, TMUS completed the sale of 800 MHz spectrum to Grain in exchange for $2.9bn in cash and Grain’s 600 MHz spectrum licenses.
- TMUS shareholder returns: In April 2026, TMUS increased the 2026 total shareholder return program from initially $14.6bn towards up to $18.2bn. In Q3, TMUS paid a total dividend of $1.1bn, thereof c.$0.5bn to third parties and c.$0.6bn to DT (cumulative YTD $3.3bn). For Q4 2026, TMUS increased the dividend by 15% to $1.17 from $1.02 previously. During Q2, 11.4mn TMUS shares were repurchased for c.$2.2bn (cumulative Q2 YTD $7.1bn). In February, DT declared that it does not intend to sell into the TMUS share buyback in 2026 (6.4mn TMUS shares worth €1.3bn were sold in 2025). On 17 July DT’s stake amounted to 54.3%.
