Vodacom reported mixed FY26 results where strong local performance in South Africa and International markets was offset by FX headwinds and weaker Egypt revenues.
Key Takeaways

- 2.Egypt service revenue decelerated due to price-rise annualization and FX pressures, resulting in a miss against consensus estimates.
- 3.Management updated mid-term guidance, narrowing the capex intensity range and introducing a new target for double-digit operating free cash flow growth.
