The latest announcement is out from ORANGE SA ( (FR:ORA) ).

Orange SA reported record first-half 2026 performance, with revenue up 3.5% to €20.9 billion and EBITDAaL up 5%, driven by double-digit growth in Africa and the Middle East and solid gains in France and Europe. Organic cash flow climbed to €2.2 billion and adjusted net income rose 11.8%, although net financial debt increased to €35.7 billion following the full consolidation of Spanish operator MasOrange.

Orange also advanced its infrastructure strategy with a data center joint venture with Morrison and the €1.3 billion acquisition of Scorefit to support France’s copper-to-fiber transition, reinforcing its leadership in key markets while committing to disciplined investment and sustainable value creation.
