Three events shape the timeline
On August 6, 2026, United Internet presented second-quarter 2026 results, with earnings per share of EUR 0.38 versus EUR 0.29 in the year-earlier quarter, as finanzen.net reported. On September 24, 2026, the company published a management board change through its investor-relations page. On October 5, 2026, United Internet announced participation in the 1&1 capital increase, with 35,352,929 new shares later identified at an issue price of EUR 24.05 by FinanzNachrichten.
What does the 1&1 move change?
The transaction increases United Internet's exposure to its mobile subsidiary through a non-cash contribution, rather than a cash purchase at a premium. Deutsche Bank Research kept its Buy rating on October 7, 2026, saying the structure could allow United Internet to raise its holding at the current share price; the analyst also cited a possible 90 percent threshold for a future squeeze-out, according to FinanzNachrichten.
The operating backdrop is mixed in the latest reported quarter. Revenue reached EUR 1.54 billion in the second quarter of 2026, down 4.18 percent from EUR 1.61 billion in the second quarter of 2025, while earnings per share improved by EUR 0.09 to EUR 0.38. That combination makes the 1&1 ownership step strategically important, but it also leaves quarterly revenue momentum as a key measure for the next update.
Next dates for United Internet
André Driesen is scheduled to take over as chief financial officer on November 1, 2026, while United Internet's third-quarter 2026 figures are scheduled for November 12, 2026, according to Zonebourse and finanzen.net.
Stock remains below its yearly high
United Internet stock had a market capitalization of EUR 4.1 billion on October 14, 2026. Its 52-week range was EUR 22.24 to EUR 30.22, placing the current quote EUR 1.24 above the low and EUR 6.74 below the high; the distance to the high was 22.30 percent. The next results date gives investors a defined checkpoint for judging whether the ownership strategy is accompanied by stronger operating momentum.
