Stars
5G Network Expansion in the Baltic Region
The 5G rollout across Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia is a high-growth segment where Tele2 (part of Telia Company until 2023; Tele2 AB listed in Stockholm) holds a leading share—Tele2 reported ~35% combined mobile market share in the Baltics in 2024. As digitalization accelerates, mobile data traffic grew ~60% year-on-year in 2024, forcing Tele2 to spend roughly €120–150m capex across 2024–25 to sustain network edge. Early spectrum wins (2019–2021 auctions) give Tele2 capacity and lower per-GB costs, so as subscriber ARPU rises with 5G services, these networks can shift from heavy investment to strong cash generation by 2026–27.
Enterprise IoT and M2M Solutions
IoT and M2M in the Baltic Sea region grow ~12–18% CAGR (2023–2026) as manufacturers automate supply chains; Tele2 holds ~28% regional connectivity share for industrial SIMs but faces pressure from AWS and Siemens; 2024 IoT ARPU rose 9% to SEK 42/month, contributing ~6% of Tele2 group EBITDA; continued capex of ~SEK 400–500m annually into platforms is needed to stay primary provider for large-scale deployments.
5G Standalone Core for Private Networks
Tele2, as an early mover in 5G Standalone (SA) core, offers network slicing and private 5G for industries; by 2025 Tele2 reported pilot contracts with 12 industrial clients and a 45% QoS SLA uplift versus 4G.
The niche targets premium customers needing low latency for robotics and autonomous vehicles; private 5G trials showed sub-5 ms latency and enabled a €1.2M/year factory automation deal.
R&D spend tied to 5G SA rose to €42M in FY2024 (up 28% YoY), pressuring margins now but cementing Tele2’s leadership in next-gen telco services.
Fixed-Mobile Convergence in Sweden
Fixed-mobile bundles in Sweden hit ~55% household penetration in 2024, driven by value-seeking customers; Tele2, boosted by the 2018 Com Hem merger, holds about 25–30% share of the converged market and reports blended ARPU ~SEK 320 (2024).
To defend this strong position Tele2 must sustain targeted retention marketing and product differentiation, since Tier 1 rivals’ aggressive promos push churn risk above industry average (estimated 12–14% annually for promo-impacted cohorts).
Here’s the quick list:
- Household bundle penetration ~55% (2024)
- Tele2 converged market share ~25–30%
- Blended ARPU ~SEK 320 (2024)
- Promo-driven churn risk 12–14% for exposed cohorts
Advanced Data Analytics for B2B Clients
Advanced Data Analytics for B2B Clients is a Star: Tele2’s mobility-insight services grew 48% YoY in 2024, driven by 2.3 billion anonymized location events monthly and €72m in segment revenue—positioning it for market leadership as firms go data-first.
Tele2 must keep investing in AI and edge processing; a €25–40m capex boost over 2025–27 is needed to sustain 30–40% CAGR and protect margins against cloud costs.
- 48% YoY growth 2024
- 2.3B location events/month
- €72m 2024 revenue
- €25–40m capex 2025–27
- Target 30–40% CAGR
Tele2: 5G, IoT & Analytics Driving Growth—Path to Cash Generation by 2026–27
Stars: Tele2’s 5G, IoT, private 5G and B2B analytics show high growth and strong share—5G mobile share ~35% (2024), IoT connectivity ~28% share, analytics €72m revenue (2024, +48% YoY); capex need €120–150m (2024–25) + €25–40m (2025–27). Expected shift to cash generation by 2026–27 if ARPU and enterprise deals scale.

Cash Cows
Swedish Consumer Mobile Subscriptions
The Swedish mobile market is near saturation—mobile penetration exceeded 130% in 2024—so subscriber growth is limited, yet Tele2 still serves over 3.6 million mobile customers (2024), a large, loyal base.
High EBITDA margins (~35% in Sweden, 2024) and low incremental marketing costs on mature plans produce steady cash flow from this segment.
That cash funds Tele2’s 5G capex (≈SEK 3.0–3.5bn guidance for 2025) and supports dividend payouts (SEK 4.25 per share paid 2024).
Fixed Broadband Services in Sweden
Tele2 remains a top fixed broadband provider in Sweden, serving about 1.8 million households via fiber and coax as of Q4 2025 and holding roughly 28% market share.
The market is saturated; annual retail subscriber growth is ~1% and ARPU ~SEK 280, so revenue growth is muted but highly recurring.
Capital intensity is low—FY2024 capex for fixed broadband was ~SEK 1.2bn—making this unit a steady cash cow and primary liquidity source for group operations.
Baltic Mobile Prepaid Services
In Lithuania Tele2’s prepaid mobile business holds about 34% market share (2024), a mature but high-margin segment that generated roughly EUR 68m in EBITDA for the Baltic operations in 2024; low capex needs make it a classic Cash Cow. These services need minimal new infrastructure now, so they return cash quickly and fund growth elsewhere. Tele2 keeps tight OPEX control and promotional discipline to maximize milking from its brand and subscriber base.
Wholesale Roaming and Interconnect
Tele2’s wholesale roaming and interconnect leverage its nationwide radio access and core networks to earn steady fees from foreign and domestic operators; in 2024 interconnect and roaming contributed roughly 8% of group revenue, about SEK 2.1 billion, with EBITDA margins near 60%.
This is a mature, low-complexity line: technical standards (e.g., GSMA roaming, SS7/SIGTRAN interconnect) are stable, capex-light, and deliver predictable, passive cash flows that bolster Tele2’s free cash flow and dividend capacity.
- 2024 revenue ~SEK 2.1bn
- EBITDA margin ≈60%
- Low capex, mature GSMA standards
- Reliable passive income supporting dividends
Digital Television and Streaming Bundles
Tele2’s Digital Television and streaming bundles are cash cows: the Nordic pay-TV market is mature and cord-cutting rose 8% in 2024, yet Tele2’s integrated bundles still serve ~420,000 households in Sweden and Latvia, with market share ~28% where it owns cable infrastructure.
By using existing cable footprint the incremental cost per TV subscriber is low—estimated EUR 15–25/year—and EBITDA margins on TV bundles remained near 42% in FY 2024.
Priority is retention and ARPU expansion: keep churn under 10% annually and upsell streaming add-ons to raise lifetime value (LTV) from ~EUR 600 to EUR 820 per subscriber.
- 420,000 households served
- ~28% market share on-cable
- Incremental cost EUR 15–25/yr
- EBITDA margin ~42% (FY 2024)
- Target churn <10%, LTV EUR 820 goal
Tele2: High‑margin cash flows fund SEK 3.0–3.5bn 5G capex and SEK 4.25/sh dividend
Tele2’s Swedish mobile and fixed broadband, Baltic prepaid, roaming/interconnect, and TV bundles generate high-margin, low-capex cash flows—supporting SEK 3.0–3.5bn 5G capex (2025) and SEK 4.25/share dividend (2024). Key stats: Sweden mobile 3.6M users, broadband 1.8M households (28% share), Baltic EBITDA ~EUR 68m (2024), roaming revenue ~SEK 2.1bn (2024), TV 420k subs, EBITDA margins 35–60%.
| Segment | Metric (2024) | EBITDA% |
|---|---|---|
| Sweden mobile | 3.6M subs | ≈35% |
| Broadband | 1.8M hh, 28% share | ≈35% |
| Baltic prepaid | EUR 68m EBITDA | ≈40% |
| Roaming/interconnect | SEK 2.1bn rev | ≈60% |
| TV bundles | 420k subs | ≈42% |
