Why Are Telefonica Shares Trading Lower Today?

  • Barclays analyst Mathieu Robilliard downgraded Telefonica SA TEF to Underweight from Equal Weight with a price target of €3.40 ($3.94), down from €4, implying a 13.7% downside.
  • The analyst views the recent re-rating of the shares as overdone, saying Telefonica's operating free cash flow in Spain will remain under pressure with competition still high.
  • Further, it is unlikely that the company's expensive football rights will get renewed at a lower price, Robilliard notes.
