Deutsche Telekom Buys OTE's Entire €100 Million Bond as Stock Sinks Near Year Low
Veröffentlicht: 25.06.2026 um 22:02 Uhr, Redaktion boerse-global.de
Deutsche Telekom has stepped in as its own banker, snapping up a newly issued €100 million bond from Greek subsidiary OTE in full. The seven-figure internal financing deal, struck on Thursday, sees the Bonn-based group pocket the 2.951% yield through to June 2027 while shielding its Athens unit from external capital market volatility. Proceeds will flow into OTE's general operations, but the move has done little to arrest the parent company's stock slide.
The T?share was last changing hands at €26.23, down roughly 10% over the past month and dangerously close to its 52?week low of €25.71 set only days ago. Chart watchers point to a deeply bearish setup: the stock trades well below both the 200?day moving average at €28.90 and the 50?day line at €27.98. There is one faint technical glimmer — the Relative Strength Index has fallen to 32.3, a level that historically hints at oversold conditions and a potential bounce.
Fundamental support, meanwhile, continues to build. Rating agency Fitch recently upgraded Deutsche Telekom's credit grade to 'A?', citing robust free cash flow generation. The ongoing share buyback programme has also lent a hand, with management repurchasing nearly 17 million of its own shares through mid?June. Analysts remain broadly bullish, maintaining an average price target of €38.61 and forecasting a dividend of €1.13 per share for 2026.
Should investors sell immediately? Or is it worth buying Deutsche Telekom?
Operationally, the group is pushing ahead on multiple fronts. A new 5G site went live in downtown Dortmund this week, with five more masts planned for the surrounding region, while fibre?to?the?home now reaches approximately 15 million households nationwide. The real catalyst, however, lies across the Atlantic. T?Mobile US delivers roughly two?thirds of the group's adjusted operating profit, and the market is holding its breath for the American unit's quarterly numbers on 23 July. A strong print could relieve the selling pressure that has pushed the stock within a hair's breadth of the €26 mark — a level that, if broken, would signal further technical damage.
Investors will get additional clarity from the Greek subsidiary when OTE opens its books on 29 July, followed by Deutsche Telekom's own second?quarter report on 6 August. For now, the gap between operational stability and market perception remains stubbornly wide.
