UBS maintained its 'sell' recommendation on Vodafone Group PLC (LSE:VOD) despite second-quarter results that impressed elsewhere, arguing the stock has little room for upside. Group service revenue grew 5.8% in Q2, with earnings beating the City consensus by 2.2%, helped by a better-than-expected contribution from Europe.
Vodafone surged 8% after Q2 2026 results, fueled by a 2.5% dividend hike and a new progressive dividend policy. Despite operational improvements and positive EBITDAaL growth, VOD's fundamentals remain weak, with negative net income, negative ROIC, and negative free cash flow. Management's dividend increase appears premature given ongoing asset write-downs and cash flow challenges, raising concerns about long-term sustainability.
Vodafone has executed a successful turnaround, divesting underperforming units and merging its UK business with Three, driving improved growth prospects.

The company raised guidance, announced a €2 billion buyback, and expects to grow its dividend by 2.5%, offering a forward yield of about 4.5%.
