Quarterly results

ESEF annual reports carry no quarters: the results are annual (below).

E/P over time

E/P = trailing-12-month diluted EPS / price at quarter end. E/P is the inverse of P/E and stays defined when earnings are negative.

Today's P/E sits at the 0 percentile of its own 1-quarter history (min 25.1, median 25.1, max 25.1; quarters with earnings only).

Memo

Teleste Oyj (TLT1V.HE). Latest full fiscal year: 2025; data up to 2025-12-31.

Figures computed from the financial statements: revenue 138.6 m EUR in 2025; YoY growth 4.6%; net margin 2.0%; ROE 4.9%; net debt/EBITDA 1.0x.

The estimated value range is 3.20–3.37 EUR per share (median of 3 methods, agreement: low); assumptions are illustrative. Against the central value of 3.25 EUR, the price of 3.30 EUR leaves a potential of -1.6% (value / price − 1) and a margin of safety of -1.6% (1 − price / value). The range is the median of the methods' low, central and high values, not a probability interval.

olivLaw score 52/100, methodological classification: neutral profile (score, margin of safety and method agreement together; not a judgement of the right price). Groups assessed only in part: growth. Not investment advice.

Text generated deterministically from the figures shown; no language model. Not investment advice.

What supports the thesis

  • FCF conversion: 451.3%
  • FCF yield: 20.5%
  • Payout ratio (FCF): 4.4%

What contradicts it

  • Interest coverage: 1.4x
  • Shareholder yield (distributions): 0.9%
  • The valuation methods diverge

Not assessed (insufficient data or a ratio without meaning): Revenue CAGR 3Y, EPS CAGR 3Y.

In brief

Teleste Oyj is a Finnish supplier of network solutions for cable and fiber broadband, and of passenger information and security systems for public transport and critical infrastructure. In fiscal 2025 it returned to modest growth, with revenue of 138.6 million euros, as demand for DOCSIS 4.0 in North America rises 1.

SWOT

Strengths

  • The company earns a large share of revenue from exports and has a solid presence in North America, with several important operator customers.
  • Its portfolio includes DOCSIS 4.0 technologies and public transport software, placing it in technical segments with rising demand.
  • Maintenance and service revenue offers a relatively stable flow alongside new projects.

Weaknesses

  • Profitability was weak in prior years, and operating result remains small relative to revenue.
  • Dependence on a few large projects and on customer timing can produce significant variation from quarter to quarter.
  • Product development costs are high relative to revenue, which limits margins.

Opportunities

  • Extending DOCSIS 4.0 in Europe and starting production in Mexico could open new contracts.
  • Demand for sustainable public transport and integrated security systems could grow over the longer term.
  • Recent framework agreements with railways in Belgium and France could expand activity in Europe.

Threats

  • A merger among large US cable operators could temporarily reduce customer investments.
  • US tariffs and shifts in trade policy could disrupt supply chains and demand.
  • Dollar and euro exchange rate swings could affect reported revenue and margins.

Risks

  • Customer concentrationhigh

    A small number of large operators may account for a significant part of orders, and their delays could affect results.

  • US operator mergerhigh

    Completion of the cable operator merger could change investment plans and order timing.

  • Tariffs and trade policymedium

    US trade measures could raise production costs and slow customer decisions.

  • Currency exposuremedium

    Revenue in dollars and costs in euros can create exchange differences that affect the result.

  • Project executionmedium

    Complex projects and new production in Mexico could face delays or cost overruns.

Investment thesis

What would need to be true (bull case)

  • If DOCSIS 4.0 demand extends across Europe and North America, revenue could grow faster than current estimates.
  • If margins improve as volumes rise, operating result could return to a sustainable level.
  • Framework agreements with European railways could bring recurring revenue over several years.

What would break the thesis

  • If the US operator merger leads to investment cuts, demand for equipment could fall.
  • If profit stays small relative to development spending, the company could remain vulnerable to shocks.
  • If tariffs and currency movements worsen, margins could come under further pressure.

What to watch

  • Delivery against the 2026 revenue and adjusted operating result guidance2026
  • Completion of the Charter and Cox merger and its effect on customer investments2026
  • Start of production at the Mexico plant and first product deliveriesQ1 2026
  • Payment of the proposed dividend and development of European orders2027

Products, market & competition

AI-generatedAI-generated analysis (Claude) from cited public sources; it may contain errors. Not investment advice. As of 27 Oct 2026 · Model: claude-haiku-5-5.

The business

Teleste develops and delivers equipment and software for broadband networks and passenger information systems in public transport. Its business is organized as complete projects covering development, delivery and maintenance, and part of its revenue comes from recurring maintenance and service business 1. The company has a large export share, above 92% of revenue in 2025 1.

Revenue in fiscal 2025 grew 4.6% from the previous year, and adjusted operating result reached 7.1 million euros after losses in 2024 1. The company reported orders received of 138.2 million euros and an order backlog of 115 million euros at year end 1.

For 2026 management estimates revenue of 140–160 million euros and adjusted operating result of 7–10 million euros, with results expected to weight toward the second half of the year 1. These estimates depend on US tariff policy and the dollar exchange rate, which create uncertainty 1.

Segments

Broadband Networks

The broadband networks segment delivers DOCSIS 4.0 technologies that combine fiber and cable in one architecture. Delivery volumes of the new generation smart networks grew during 2025, and the company had more than 20 network operator customers in North America 1.

Public Safety and Mobility

The public safety and mobility segment provides passenger information for public transport, video surveillance and situational awareness systems for critical infrastructure. The company expanded its customer base to train manufacturers and public transport operators 1.

Market context

The broadband market recovered in 2025, driven by competition between network operators for fast connections. The North American cable market is much larger than the European one, and DOCSIS 4.0 investments began there in 2024 1.

The public transport and critical infrastructure market is growing over the longer term, supported by cities expanding sustainable transport and digital security. Demand for integrated solutions and real-time software is rising 1.

Trends

  • DOCSIS 4.0 standardtailwind

    DOCSIS 4.0 investments began in North America in 2024 and partly in Europe in 2025, which could lift volumes for equipment suppliers 1.

  • Charter and Cox mergermixed

    The merger of Charter Communications and Cox Communications, expected to close by mid 2026, has temporarily delayed one customer's network investments. If the merger closes, the result could be a larger operator with reorganized investment plans 1.

  • US tariffs and trade policyheadwind

    Shifting US tariffs and trade policy create disruption, but the company does not expect a major long term effect on customer investments 1.

  • Software and cybersecuritytailwind

    Software, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity are becoming more important for transport and infrastructure systems. Investments in these areas grew in 2025 and could continue into 2026 1.

Competitive position

Competition depends on the segment: in cable networks Teleste faces large equipment suppliers, and in passenger information for public transport it faces specialized companies. The sources consulted do not name competitors explicitly, so this analysis stays general 1.

The company's advantage appears to lie in its technical niches and its ties with public transport and broadband operators. In export markets its position depends on delivering long term projects and keeping existing customers 1.
