Telefonica Shares Tumble After Plan to Halve 2026 Dividend
NegativeFinancial Markets

Telefonica's shares have taken a hit following the company's announcement to halve its dividend for 2026. This decision reflects the telecom's strategy to adapt to market conditions, particularly in Europe, where a lack of consolidation has resulted in inefficient investments. While the move aims to position Telefonica for future opportunities, it raises concerns among investors about the company's short-term financial health and its ability to deliver returns.
