Comment from Nicholas Högberg, President and Group CEO of Tele2
“Adding our solid Q2 numbers to the books and closing the first half of the year, we conclude that we are well on track to reach our full year guidance. However, the second half of the year brings tough comparables, and external uncertainties remain.”
“The next phase is not about a new direction. Our focus is to further improve customer loyalty, drive sustainable growth, and make Tele2 even leaner and faster while maintaining strict cost discipline. In a market defined by fierce competition, the details decide who wins.”
