Ukraine’s Kyivstar raises outlook after strong first quarter
Ukraine’s biggest telecom operator Kyivstar on Wednesday raised its annual outlook after stronger digital-services growth and steady demand for mobile and broadband services helped it outperform its earlier forecast despite the war with Russia.
The company said it now expected 2026 revenue growth in U.S. dollar terms of 11% to 14%, up from a March forecast of 8% to 11%, while earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, a measure of core profit, were now seen rising 7% to 10% versus its earlier 5% to 8% range.
