Analyst target rises to GBp 155.00

Goldman Sachs upgraded Vodafone from Sell to Buy and raised its price target from GBp 85.00 to GBp 155.00 on September 4, 2026, according to Lloyds Bank. The new target is GBp 29.55 above the September 29 quotation, a gap of 23.56 percent.

Goldman Sachs linked its more constructive view to improving returns on invested capital, a recovering UK mobile market and further cost reductions. Its assessment also identified weaker German market structure and historical execution as constraints, giving the upgrade a clear counterweight.

Q1 FY27 growth sets the operating baseline

Vodafone's investor page reports 5.4 percent growth in group organic service revenue for Q1 FY27 and a 4.5 percent increase in organic adjusted EBITDAaL. The same update highlights EUR 3.1 billion in total shareholder returns for fiscal year 2026, according to Vodafone.

The comparison matters because service revenue growth exceeded adjusted EBITDAaL growth by 1.0 percentage point in the Q1 FY27 figures. That spread makes cost discipline and the conversion of revenue growth into earnings the central operating question for the next update.
