Liberty Global completed its buyout of VodafoneZiggo and now holds 90% of Ziggo Group, with a 2027 Amsterdam listing planned through a shareholder spin-off. That gives investors a concrete route to realise value from the Benelux assets. (Liberty Global)
Customer trends improved across several operations: VodafoneZiggo had its best broadband net-add quarter in six years, Telenet recorded a fifth consecutive quarter of positive broadband net adds, and Virgin Media O2 improved broadband and mobile trading year on year. Virgin Media O2’s full-fibre network also reached nine million premises. (Liberty Global)
Asset sales are generating funds for Liberty Global’s capital plans: it received $604 million from its remaining EdgeConneX stake, reporting an investment return above 30%, and said year-to-date asset monetisations reached about $1.2 billion. The company raised its year-end corporate cash target from about $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion. (Liberty Global)
The 2026 outlook still points to operating declines: Virgin Media O2 expects service revenue and EBITDA to fall 3–5%, while VodafoneZiggo forecasts a mid-to-high-single-digit EBITDA decline. Better customer additions have yet to reverse these financial headwinds. (Liberty Global)
Capital spending limits cash available from the telecom operations. Virgin Media O2 expects £2.0–£2.2 billion of property and equipment additions but around £200 million of adjusted free cash flow in 2026; VodafoneZiggo expects about €100 million of adjusted free cash flow and no cash distributions. (Liberty Global)
Virgin Media O2’s proposed £2 billion Netomnia deal has been sent to an in-depth UK competition investigation, with the CMA setting a 15 December deadline. Regulatory delay or remedies could complicate the group’s plan to expand its UK fibre footprint. (The Telegraph)
