Stars
FTTH and Ultra-Fast Fiber Broadband
OTE S.A. expanded FTTH to ~1.2M homes passed in 2025, raising fiber market share in ultra-fast (>1 Gbps) plans to ~42%, driving ARPU up 8% YoY; heavy CAPEX of ~€360M in 2025 supports rollout but locks recurring revenue.
5G Advanced and Private Networks
With 5G Standalone maturity by late 2025, Cosmote (OTE S.A.) holds top mobile speed and coverage—ranked 1st in Greece with 42% LTE/5G market share and median download 250 Mbps in 2024 tests.
OTE is investing ~€200m through 2026 into private 5G and edge solutions for industry and port automation—targeting a €150–200m Greek TAM by 2030; these are high-growth niches.
Private 5G projects raise capex and OPEX short-term but lock long-term contracts and services revenue, positioning OTE as an indispensable partner in Greece’s industrial digital transformation.
ICT Solutions and Digital Transformation
The ICT Solutions and Digital Transformation division is a Star after winning €420m in public sector Recovery and Resilience Facility contracts (2023–2025) and €150m in private enterprise deals, driving revenue growth above 18% YoY. This segment benefits from double-digit market expansion as Greek businesses adopt cloud, cybersecurity, and IoT, with EU cloud spend up ~22% in 2024. OTE uses its 45% domestic market share and fixed–mobile backbone to outpace smaller integrators on complex systems integration.
Cosmote TV Streaming Services
Cosmote TV Streaming Services, part of OTE S.A., sits in the BCG Matrix high-growth, growing-share quadrant as subscriber base rose 18% year-over-year to about 620,000 in FY2024, driven by exclusive sports rights and original films.
Shift from linear to on-demand keeps market growth near 12% CAGR (2023–25 estimate), justifying ongoing content spend despite high acquisition costs that pushed programming capex to €145m in 2024.
The platform’s increasing ARPU—up 7% to €11.40 in 2024—and lower churn after live-sports signings support reinvestment to capture scale and defend market position.
- 620,000 subs (FY2024)
- +18% YoY growth
- €145m programming capex 2024
- €11.40 ARPU (+7%)
- Market ~12% CAGR (2023–25 est.)
Cosmote Insurance and Fintech Services
Cosmote Insurance and Payzy sit in OTE’s question-mark quadrant: rapid fintech growth in Greece—digital wallet users rose 28% in 2024 to ~1.1M, insurtech premiums up 22%—gives high upside but market share still under 10% against banks and neo-banks.
They use Cosmote’s 6.5M mobile subscribers to scale acquisition; unit economics show CAC under €20 vs bank averages ~€45, so push marketing to convert users.
Continued promotion and partnerships needed to fend off Alpha Bank, Revolut, N26 and secure regulatory/compliance investments estimated €5–10M through 2026.
- High growth: digital wallet users +28% (2024)
- Addressable base: 6.5M mobile subscribers
- Current share: <10% in fintech segments
- Lower CAC: ~€20 vs banks €45
- Needed investment: €5–10M to 2026
OTE growth surge: 1.2M FTTH, 42% mobile share, €570m ICT wins, rising ARPUs
OTE Stars: FTTH 1.2M homes passed (2025), fiber ultra-fast share ~42%, ARPU +8% YoY; Cosmote mobile 42% market share, median 250 Mbps (2024); ICT won €570m (2023–25), revenue +18% YoY; TV subs 620k (FY2024), ARPU €11.40 (+7%).

Cash Cows
Mobile Postpaid Voice and Data
The core mobile postpaid voice and data segment is OTE S.A.’s main cash cow, holding roughly a 46% market share in Greece as of 2024 and generating ~€650m EBITDA in 2024, providing steady liquidity in a mature market.
Growth has flattened to low-single digits year-on-year, but high ARPU (average revenue per user) among corporate and premium subscribers and churn near 1.8% keep margins robust—enabling funding of fiber capex.
Minimal incremental marketing spend is needed to defend this position versus newer ventures, so free cash flow from postpaid services directly subsidizes OTE’s €400–€500m annual fiber rollout.
Business Fixed-Line Connectivity
OTE’s enterprise fixed-line services remain a Cash Cow: long-term contracts and high entry barriers sustain steady revenue despite a flat market; FY2024 enterprise fixed-line EBITDA margin ~48% and capex below 5% of revenue since infrastructure is largely depreciated.
These cash flows funded ~€220m of net interest and enabled dividends of €0.20/share in 2024, while providing liquidity to support strategic investments in growth areas.
Wholesale Network Services
As owner of Greece’s primary backbone, OTE S.A. leases network capacity to alternative operators, generating roughly €600–700m annual wholesale revenue (2024 pro forma), about 20–25% of group EBITDA, driven by regulated access tariffs and long-term SLAs.
The wholesale market is mature and highly regulated by the Hellenic Telecommunications & Post Commission (EETT), producing stable, predictable cash flows with low incremental costs—incremental margins north of 70% in 2024.
This foundational cash cow underpins OTE’s financial stability, funding capex (≈€700m–€800m 2024) and dividend capacity while cushioning retail revenue cyclicality and competitive pressure.
Prepaid Mobile Segment
Prepaid Mobile Segment under the Whats Up brand is a mature, low-growth cash cow where OTE S.A. leads among 15–34 year-olds with a 38% share in 2024, generating stable EBITDA margins around 28% and annual free cash flow near €110m.
Market saturation keeps ARPU flat (~€7.5/month) but strong brand loyalty and lean digital distribution cut opex by ~12% YoY, so this segment funds capex for network-heavy units while needing minimal investment itself.
- Market share (15–34): 38% (2024)
- EBITDA margin: ~28%
- Free cash flow: ~€110m/year
- ARPU: ~€7.5/month
- Opex reduction: ~12% YoY
Legacy Broadband (ADSL/VDSL)
Legacy Broadband (ADSL/VDSL) at OTE S.A. still delivers steady monthly recurring revenue—about €45–55 million annually in 2025 from ~600,000 copper subscribers—while being phased out for fiber.
These copper lines need negligible capex now since infrastructure is mature and largely depreciated, keeping gross margins high during the transition.
The service acts as a temporary cash cow funding fiber rollouts; churn is rising ~6% Y/Y but ARPU remains ~€28, cushioning short-term cash flow.
- ~600,000 subscribers (2025)
- €45–55M annual revenue (2025)
- ARPU ~€28/month
- Churn ~6% Y/Y
- Minimal incremental capex, high margin
OTE’s 2024–25 cash cows: postpaid, wholesale, enterprise, prepaid & copper funding €0.20 div
OTE’s cash cows in 2024–25: postpaid mobile (46% share, ~€650m EBITDA), wholesale backbone (€600–700m revenue, ~20–25% group EBITDA), enterprise fixed-line (48% EBITDA margin), prepaid Whats Up (38% share 15–34, €110m FCF), and legacy copper (~600k subs, €45–55m revenue); these fund €700–800m capex and €0.20/dividend.
| Segment | Key metric(s) 2024/25 |
