Annual trends and guidance context

On a full-year view, Proximus reported net sales of 6,307 million EUR in fiscal year 2025, slightly below the 6,372 million EUR forecast but still above the 6,430 million EUR of fiscal year 2024, indicating some normalization after a strong prior year.MarketScreener EBITDA for 2025 reached 1,883 million EUR, up from 1,850 million EUR in 2024, although modestly below the 1,990 million EUR forecast, suggesting that while the group is growing, margins have been under some pressure.MarketScreener Net income in 2025 amounted to 398 million EUR, down from 447 million EUR in 2024, and below the 404 million EUR consensus, a reminder that the current strong quarterly momentum is building on a mixed earnings backdrop.MarketScreener

For 2026, the same data overview points to forecast net sales of about 6,139 million EUR and EBITDA of 1,896 million EUR, implying a relatively stable revenue base and slightly improving operating profitability versus 2025.MarketScreener Forecast net income is 286 million EUR for 2026, which is lower than the 398 million EUR reported in 2025, reflecting expectations of higher costs, investments or other pressure on the bottom line.MarketScreener The divergence between strong Q2 2026 execution and more cautious full-year profit expectations is an important risk factor for Proximus stock: if future quarters do not sustain the current beat pattern, earnings could trend back toward these lower consensus levels.

Product and service focus: Belgian connectivity

Proximus PLC is the incumbent telecom operator in Belgium, offering fixed-line broadband, mobile services and digital TV to residential and business customers, as well as wholesale connectivity to other operators.MarketScreener A representative focus area is its fiber-to-the-home and fiber-to-the-business rollout, where Proximus is investing heavily to replace older copper networks with high-speed fiber infrastructure. This rollout underpins the company’s ability to grow data revenues and support new services such as cloud connectivity, security solutions and advanced TV offerings.

The group also provides enterprise solutions including IP connectivity, managed services and cloud-based communication platforms, targeting Belgian and international corporate clients.MarketScreener While detailed segment figures for Q2 2026 are not contained in the week-filtered sources, the strong revenue and profit beats imply that both consumer and enterprise businesses contributed to the quarter. For investors, the product mix matters because fiber and digital services typically carry higher margins than legacy voice, and progress in these areas can help sustain EBITDA and EPS even in a competitive market.
