Third-quarter estimates point higher

MarketScreener published KPN's third-quarter 2026 consensus on October 6, 2026, based on 14 analyst forecasts submitted between September 25 and October 6. Analysts forecast total adjusted revenue of EUR 1.47 billion, up 1.20 percent from the third quarter of 2025, while adjusted EBITDA after leases is forecast at EUR 665.00 million, down 1.00 percent year over year.

The forecast mix is more constructive for service revenue than for profitability. Group service revenue is expected to reach EUR 1.38 billion, up 2.30 percent year over year, while operating free cash flow is forecast at EUR 348.00 million, down 3.50 percent.

Recent results set the comparison

Simply Wall St reported that KPN's second-quarter 2026 revenue was EUR 1.46 billion, flat year over year, while net income was EUR 207.00 million and profit margin was 14.00 percent. Earnings per share came in at EUR 0.05 and missed analyst expectations by 7.40 percent.

The latest consensus therefore puts third-quarter adjusted revenue EUR 10.00 million above the second-quarter reported figure, although the periods and accounting labels differ. KPN's market capitalization was EUR 15.2 billion on October 8, 2026, based on the primary listing data, while the 52-week range stood at EUR 3.75 to EUR 4.91.

Leadership changes remain in view

On October 1, 2026, KPN announced that Wouter Stammeijer would become Chief Financial Officer and Vladimir Cibic Chief Technology Officer effective November 1. The announcement also nominated Cibic for the Board of Management and Piero Overmars for the Supervisory Board, according to GlobeNewswire.

The management transition gives the October 28 earnings date an additional execution angle. KPN operates telecommunications and information technology services in the Netherlands, including fixed and mobile broadband, television, business networks and wholesale services.
