what happened
French telecom group Orange said in a press release distributed via GlobeNewswire that third-quarter 2026 revenue reached 12.2 billion euros, a 3.6% increase. Every region contributed: Africa and Middle East grew 14.2%, Europe 6 rose 5.3%, Spain gained 3.5% and France 0.5%.
EBITDAaL climbed 4.6% in the quarter to 4.1 billion euros and 4.8% over nine months. That allowed the company to lift its annual target for this measure to growth above 4.5%, from the earlier figure of above 4%. Capital spending under eCAPEX fell 2.5%, while operating cash flow rose 8.8% over the first nine months.
The board also set an interim dividend for 2026 of 0.30 euros per share, payable on December 3, 2026.
why it matters
For markets, this points to resilience in European telecoms: rising revenue and cash flow alongside controlled capital spending supports interest in Orange shares. Investors are also watching the proposed purchase of SFR with Bouygues Telecom and Free, with closing expected in the second half of 2027 subject to regulatory approvals.
market impact
Orange shares and European telecom sector: strong results and a higher guidance support the company's stock.
