IPO Momentum Builds in Benelux Telecom
Benelux broadband markets are poised for change, with fibre now the leading technology.
The region's telecom landscape is expected to shift, driven by factors such as VodafoneZiggo's adjusted pricing policy and new fibre operators scaling back roll-out plans.
Over the next 18 months, an IPO is anticipated for one of the following companies:
- Telenet
- Wyre
- VodafoneZiggo
- Odido
- ODF
- Delta Fibre
Ownership of telecom companies in the Benelux region is characterized by joint ventures and private equity ownership. With fibre footprint expansion investments coming to an end, existing shareholders are likely to seek an exit, potentially through public capital markets.
A potential IPO of Odido has been speculated about in recent press coverage, although no formal steps have been announced.
