Deutsche Telekom Stock Update: Rapidly Growing, Should You Purchase Soon Before the Upsurge Continues?
Deutsche Telekom, the global telecommunications giant, has seen a positive initial reaction from investors, pushing its shares close to the €28 mark following the announcement of a slightly raised annual EBITDA AL forecast to €43 billion. However, achieving a 20% growth in stock value may be an ambitious target in the near term based on current financial data.
In Q3 2025, Deutsche Telekom reported revenue of €118.43 billion, a modest 3.22% increase year-over-year. Despite this growth, earnings declined sharply by about 37% to €11.21 billion. The stock trades in a 52-week range between €22.40 and €35.40, with a recent price near €31, putting it closer to its upper range. The dividend yield stands at about 2.9%, which may appeal to income-focused investors but is moderate for growth seekers.
The significant earnings drop in 2024 signals challenges that may limit near-term aggressive growth, though the company continues to generate strong revenue. Deutsche Telekom remains a major global telecom operator with diverse business segments in Germany, the US (including T-Mobile), Europe, and systems solutions. The US business, mainly T-Mobile, is a key growth driver, but the company’s overall growth depends on competitive telecom markets.
Recent Q3 results outlook suggests stability but no major surprises, as Deutsche Telekom met expectations and reiterated its guidance. Analysts see further 20% price potential for Deutsche Telekom's stock if the current upward trend continues. BÖRSE ONLINE, a leading financial news platform, recommends buying Deutsche Telekom's stock.
For a growth-oriented investor, it would be prudent to monitor upcoming Q3 earnings (expected August 7, 2025), guidance updates, and market conditions closely before buying. Additionally, consider other growth catalysts such as innovations, regulatory changes, or market expansion which could justify such upside.
If your investment horizon is longer-term and you value stable cash flow with some growth potential, Deutsche Telekom could be a reasonable choice. However, the case for an immediate 20% gain is not strongly supported by current data.

In the financial outlook, Deutsche Telekom's stock may continue its upward trend, as suggested by analysts projecting further 20% price potential. However, considering the recent moderate revenue growth and sharp earnings decline, an immediate 20% gain may not be realistically achieved based on current business performance and financial data.
