Spark New Zealand (ISIN NZTELE0001S4) was trading at NZD 2.00 on the NZX on October 8, 2026 at 1:18 p.m. NZDT, up 0.50 percent from NZD 1.99. The latest market data put the company’s value at NZD 3.8 billion, while the FY26 numbers show stronger reported revenue and cash flow alongside pressure on adjusted earnings.

Cash flow reaches NZD 308 million

According to Kapitales Research on September 21, 2026, Spark reported FY26 revenue of NZD 3.949 billion for the 12 months ended June 30, 2026, an increase of 6.0 percent from the prior year. Adjusted revenue remained unchanged at NZD 3.700 billion.

The sharper contrast appears in cash generation and operating profit. Free cash flow increased 18.5 percent to NZD 308 million, while reported EBITDAI climbed 23.0 percent to NZD 1.295 billion; adjusted EBITDAI fell 2.4 percent to NZD 1.035 billion, according to Kapitales Research.

Mobile growth offsets weaker units

Mobile service revenue rose 1.1 percent to NZD 998 million in FY26, while broadband revenue declined 2.0 percent to NZD 596 million and IT services revenue fell 10.3 percent to NZD 104 million. The mix matters because the headline revenue gain came with uneven performance across Spark’s operating businesses.

FY27 guidance sets adjusted EBITDAI at NZD 1.010 billion to NZD 1.080 billion and free cash flow at NZD 300 million to NZD 350 million, according to Kapitales Research. The guidance range places cash generation near the FY26 outcome while leaving adjusted EBITDAI below the reported FY26 result.

Consensus target stays above NZD 2.00

MarketScreener lists an Outperform mean consensus from 8 analysts, with an average target of NZD 2.601 and a spread of 29.42 percent against its listed price of NZD 2.010. Against the October 8 price of NZD 2.00, that average target is 30.05 percent higher.

The market picture remains measured. Spark’s October 8 price was NZD 0.68 below its 52-week high of NZD 2.68 and NZD 0.23 above its 52-week low of NZD 1.77. The combination of cash flow growth and adjusted EBITDAI pressure leaves the guidance range as the key operating checkpoint.
