Digi Communications NV — Cyborg Score 7/10

Strong
European integrated telecom operators

Strategic Profile

In Q1 2026, Digi reported consolidated revenues of EUR 593 million (EUR 583 million excluding extraordinary asset sales), up 10% year-on-year, with adjusted EBITDA rising 15% year-on-year to EUR 161.2 million. Mobile services remain the company's main growth engine, while broadband and Pay-TV maintained positive momentum, with Romania and Spain anchoring performance and Portugal and Italy representing important emerging markets.

Cyborg Score Rationale

The company is executing strong double-digit revenue growth exceeding 10% in 2026, driven by volume increases particularly in Spain, with expected group adjusted EBITDA growth in the mid-teens. Recent UK market entry through Whyfibre demonstrates strategic ambition to strengthen European footprint. Elevated leverage (net debt ~€1.9B) and net losses in recent quarters present financial headwinds.
