Jefferies trims valuation
Jefferies identified refinancing costs as the main change in its valuation view, while keeping its positive stance on Cellnex. The EUR 34.00 target remains 32.00 percent above the October 20 closing price of EUR 25.76, according to Benzinga.
Three events set the timeline
On July 30, 2026, Cellnex reported first-half revenue of EUR 1,994 million and free cash flow of EUR 301 million through its Cellnex release. On October 5, 2026, the company began a buyback tranche that later covered 616,978 shares, according to TipRanks. On October 20, 2026, Jefferies reduced its target to EUR 34.00 from EUR 36.00, as reported by Benzinga.
What does cash flow mean?
The first-half cash flow improvement gives Cellnex room to continue shareholder returns while debt remains central to valuation. Free cash flow rose from EUR 19 million in the first half of 2025 to EUR 301 million in the first half of 2026, a comparison documented by Cellnex. The same release showed organic revenue growth of 5.00 percent and EBITDA after leases of EUR 1,231 million.
Upcoming dates matter
Cellnex lists third-quarter results for November 5, 2026, a date also cited in the October 20 report by Benzinga. The buyback program is scheduled to run through December 31, 2026, or until its EUR 200 million maximum is reached, according to Cellnex.
