Deutsche Telekom Begins €2 Billion Buyback Program Under Board Authorization Through 2030 Deutsche Telekom has launched a new multi-year share buyback program of up to €2 billion. Repurchases began in January 2026 and are scheduled to run through the end of 2026, under an authorization to buy back up to 10% of its share capital through 2030.
Most of the repurchased shares are planned to be cancelled, with a portion reserved for executive and employee remuneration, which affects both the share count and how stock-based pay is sourced.
Deutsche Telekom’s stock trades at €24.29, with the share price down 21.1% over the past 90 days, setting the buyback against a weaker recent trading backdrop.
This kind of program can tighten the share base over time, so the main questions for investors are how consistently Deutsche Telekom uses the authorization and how that compares with alternative uses of cash such as debt reduction or dividends. Live News • Jul 01
Deutsche Telekom Deploys AI to Accelerate Fiber Network Build and Tackle Labor Shortages Deutsche Telekom is expanding its use of AI to speed up German fiber network rollout and automate tasks such as scheduling and site inspections, as part of a broader push to tackle the country’s worker shortage and productivity issues.
The initiative is material because it targets structural labor constraints in Germany, where AI adoption is expected at more than two-thirds of firms this year, and is framed as part of a potential €300b contribution to economic growth from wider AI use.
Deutsche Telekom’s share price is €23.85, with the stock down 17.4% over the past 30 days.
The read-through is that Deutsche Telekom is leaning on AI to keep fiber build-out and operations moving despite tight labor supply. This could influence its cost base and capital deployment profile over time, but also exposes it to execution risk around large-scale technology rollout and integration. Live News • Jun 10

Deutsche Telekom Lifts Guidance as T-Mobile US Growth and Fiber Expansion Drive Q1 Results Deutsche Telekom reported a strong start to 2026, highlighting broad-based growth in Q1 and raising full-year guidance, supported mainly by T-Mobile US performance.
T-Mobile US added 217,000 postpaid accounts and increased its own annual projections, underlining the unit’s role as a key earnings driver within the group.
In Germany, Deutsche Telekom reached 13 million households with its fiber network, while also flagging artificial intelligence as a priority area across the business.

Deutsche Telekom and T-Mobile US Reportedly in Merger Talks Reports swirl about possible merger talks between Deutsche Telekom AG (XTRA:DTE) and T-Mobile US, Inc. (NasdaqGS:TMUS), potentially creating the largest public merger and the world's biggest wireless operator. The proposed merger would form a new holding company, with stock bids for both firms, and be listed in the US and Europe. Deutsche Telekom shares saw a 1.5% decline on April 22, 2026 amid swirling reports of possible merger discussions with U.S.-based T-Mobile US. Should this merger proceed, it would set a record as the largest public merger ever conducted, leading to the formation of the world's largest wireless operator by market capitalization. Reports confirmed by Reuters indicate these discussions are in the early stages. Deutsche Telekom, holding a 53% stake in T-Mobile, refrained from commenting on these developments. Initially reported by Bloomberg, the merger would require Germany's approval, as it stands as the largest shareholder of Deutsche Telekom. The proposed plan aims to establish a new holding company to make stock bids for both telecommunications giants, followed by listings in the U.S. and Europe. The merger could result in a powerful entity with increased market liquidity, benefitting future business dealings. Observers note T-Mobile's stock has decreased by 25% over the past year, contrasting with a 10% decline for Deutsche Telekom. Upcoming Dividend • Mar 26

The AI phone Brain.ai is presenting together with Deutsche Telekom is breaking the paradigm–with an app-free interface that predicts and generates the next interface contextually, flowing with thoughts.

Demonstration of a multi-domain orchestration proof-of-concept (PoC) with open APIs for 5G dynamic network slicing services on-demand. The collaborative PoC illustrates the ease with which businesses can submit a service request through Deutsche Telekom's customer interface, initiating the setup of a protected, tailored 5G network slice that assures superior Quality of Service (QoS) tailored to a customer’s specific connectivity needs. The complete customer journey from the moment an order is placed, to the translation of that order into precise deployment and configuration details for network functions, results in the activation of a dedicated end-to-end network slice with a custom Service Level Agreement (SLA). Network Slicing solution demonstrated by Deutsche Telekom for the multi domain orchestration PoC enables enterprises to book a network slice for video production or any other use case, based on the slice availability at their location. The entire network slice lifecycle is automated, from ordering to instantiation to configuration to management. The business support system (BSS) takes the customer order and invokes the slice manager/orchestrator. The Mavenir Digital Cloud Automation (MDCA), which serves as a network function management function (NFMF), exposes REST API to the slice orchestrator to receive slice creation and configuration requests. To enable seamless integration with 3rd party orchestrators, Mavenir made the API specification publicly available. The MDCA which is Mavenir’s CICD framework, uses GitOps practices to automate the creation and configuration of the slice. As part of this procedure, the required network function (NF) for the slice is instantiated, the slice-specific and other dependent NFs are configured. Once the slice is activated, the slice specific KPIs are sent to the operations support system (OSS) layer. This enables monitoring of the network slice's performance, and any feedback action to be taken for Slice Assurance follows the same path as creation i.e. via MDCA. The 5G Live Video Production Service and the Multi-Domain Orchestration PoC was implemented using Mavenir’s cloud-native Converged Packet Core components and the MDCA serving as the NFMF. Mavenir’s end-to-end network slicing solution comprising of RAN, Core, Mavenir Digital Enablement (MDE serving as the BSS), and MDCA based Automation suite provides the same customer journey and slice lifecycle management as that of the Deutsche Telekom solution. MDE exposes TMF based Open APIs easing the integration with third-party management interfaces. This solution provides several benefits to CSPs, consumers and enterprises, including: Increased agility and flexibility: Businesses can quickly and easily deploy and manage network slices to meet their specific needs. Improved efficiency and cost savings: Businesses can optimise their network resources by using network slices for specific applications or use cases. Enhanced security and isolation: Network slices can be isolated from each other to improve security and performance. New revenue opportunities: Businesses can offer new and innovative services to their customers by using network slicing. Major Estimate Revision • Aug 19
