Elisa, the group behind Elisa stock, reiterates EUR 815-845 million guidance

Elisa, the Finnish telecommunications group behind Elisa stock, reiterated comparable EBITDA guidance of EUR 815-845 million for fiscal 2026 in pre-silent notes dated September 23, 2026, according to Cision. The company is scheduled to publish its third-quarter 2026 interim report on October 21, 2026.

Guidance holds at EUR 815-845 million

Elisa's guidance combines full-year revenue at the same level as or slightly higher than in 2025 with comparable EBITDA of EUR 815-845 million. Capital spending is expected to equal 12 percent of revenue, giving investors a clear measure for judging cash use during the year.

The operating assumptions are restrained. Telecom service revenue is expected to grow 0-2 percent, while international software services are guided to organic revenue growth of more than 5 percent and up to 10 percent, according to Cision.

Mobile churn gives the next report its test

In the second quarter of 2026, consumer mobile churn fell from above 20 percent in the second half of 2025 to a 17 percent level, which Elisa described as the long-term second-quarter average. The comparison points to improving customer retention, although fixed-term agreements delay the effect of higher new-sale prices until the fourth quarter.

Elisa also said its transformation program is progressing as planned, with EUR 40 million of gross operating expense savings targeted in full. One-off costs related to the program totaled EUR 5.1 million in the second quarter of 2026, according to Cision.

Market value and reporting date

Elisa had a market capitalization of EUR 5.8 billion as of October 1, 2026. The company is listed on Nasdaq Helsinki under the ticker ELISA, and its latest results center identifies the second-quarter 2026 report as the most recent published interim report, dated July 15, 2026, according to Elisa.

The October 21 report will show whether lower churn, mobile pricing and the transformation savings are translating into the guided EBITDA range. The combination of 0-2 percent telecom service growth and 12 percent capital spending makes operational execution more important than headline revenue expansion.
