Early-stage considerations reportedly range from merging the business with other operators or divesting some assets in certain markets, to selling a stake in the company.
Vodafone is exploring options for its African business as investors ramp up pressure on the UK telecom company to boost performance, people familiar with the matter said.
The London-listed firm is working with advisors to study ways to extract more value from its 65% holding in Vodacom, the people said, asking not to be identified as the matter is private. The early-stage considerations range from merging the business with other operators or divesting some assets in certain markets, to selling a stake in the company, the people said.
Vodacom has a market value of about $14.4 billion (R252 billion) on the Johannesburg bourse after declining about 17% in the last 12 months. Vodafone is down almost 30% in that time period, valuing it at £26.8 billion ($32.2 billion).
While Vodafone has always seen the African unit as a core part of the group, the exercise shows that it’s willing to study a wide range of alternatives as it casts around for a way to stem a decline in its shares. Billionaire John Malone’s Liberty Global Plc disclosed a 4.9% stake in Vodafone on Monday, joining other strategic investors French billionaire Xavier Niel and state-backed Emirates Telecommunications Group Co, formerly known as Etisalat and now called e&.
There’s no certainty the deliberations will lead to any transaction. A representative for the UK carrier said that Vodacom “is a strong business that is an important part of Vodafone” and there are no ongoing discussions about a potential sale. A representative for Vodacom declined to comment.
Etisalat, which is Vodafone’s largest shareholder, has been exploring a potential investment in Vodacom, Bloomberg News reported in December. It has been studying the possibility of buying Vodafone’s stake in Vodacom or merging its own African operations with Vodacom, people with knowledge of the matter said at the time. Vodafone’s holding in the African business may also attract interest from other bidders, according to the people.
Vodafone has been selling assets and replaced its chief executive Nick Read late last year as it has come under attack from activist investors due to its poor performance. Last year, it sold a stake in Frankfurt-listed Vantage Towers AG unit to a private equity consortium in a deal valuing the business at €16.2 billion ($17.3 billion).
The British company has been consolidating its interests on the continent under Vodacom, which provides services in countries including South Africa, Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Vodafone’s stake in Vodacom increased to 65% after it completed the sale of its Egyptian business to the the South African unit, according to a regulatory filing Monday.
DYO
can we see 105p today?
not bad it is up 10% in a week
faith and holding long term.
Flying up !
I think I would be happy with £1.30, for now. !!!!!
Raising my target here to 140 this has got legs imo
Third gap up in a row.
Hi Dan at least my last top up of 86p is looking worthwhile, it will be good to see this above a £1 again
best of luck mate
Hi rob. It should open at 1.03 tomorrow. Are you tempted? Bye the way, my end of week prediction was 1.05, not 95,
clerical error, what do you mean roofer, I am too late? It was all robs fault that I went low!
Starting to look good here now, will start to show more interest if it gets back over a £1

MaryBr190. "Why not higher" Because of investors who sell on a rise, Sounds like you?? You could always respond once in a while? Are you a robot?
Why not higher?
Vod on the nasdaq equates to about 1.02.5 at the moment, so great for those who re invested the divi, or bought at below 90p .... Still a long way back up for me, but it's looking very promising..
'Mpesa' would also complement E& ambition to reenter India ie mpesa India. Its really an emerging market product not suited to Europe imo

I hope we can reach 130p soon
haha nah just was thinking of what vodafone could sell off. Vodacom, Mpesa and vantage towers is all thats left to sell. If they sell of vodacom they should load it up with debt and keep europe section with less debt.
'Interesting i mentioned africa merger or somethign this morning'
Did you also see some round objects in the sky, kind of UFO like, not the sun or the moon?
'the partner markets model and the VOD brand' could combine with E& without losing Vodacom. Would depend on what products and services and where...
