Telekom (ISIN DE0005557508) targets EUR 2.5 billion in indirect cost savings from artificial intelligence and automation by 2030, versus 2023, while Telekom stock fell 1.08 percent to EUR 26.56 at Lang & Schwarz on October 6, 2026. The company presented the targets at its AI Investor Day on October 5, 2026, according to Deutsche Telekom.

AI savings reach EUR 2.5 billion

The savings plan covers Telekom operations outside the United States and sets a EUR 1.1 billion gross-savings target for 2027 against 2023. By 2030, the target rises to EUR 2.5 billion in indirect cost savings, with the company linking the program to network operations, customer service, software development and administration.

The targets are strategic rather than a new full-year forecast. Telekom reaffirmed its financial outlook and said part of the additional savings will be reinvested in digital transformation and fiber expansion in Germany, according to Investing.com on October 5, 2026.

Revenue target rises to EUR 800 million

Telekom also targets EUR 250 million in AI-related revenue outside the United States by the end of 2026 and EUR 800 million by 2030. The comparison implies an increase of EUR 550 million between the two stated targets, while the revenue opportunity is aimed at both business customers and consumers.

Analyst support remains split. Goldman Sachs maintained a Buy rating and a EUR 38.00 price target in a report dated October 5, 2026, according to Markets Insider. At EUR 26.56, that target lies 43.07 percent above the Lang & Schwarz price.
