Telefonica Brasil ( (VIV) ) has provided an announcement.
Telefônica Brasil S.A., which trades as VIVT3 on B3 and VIV on the NYSE, is a major Brazilian telecom operator providing mobile, fixed broadband, fiber and corporate ICT services, with a strategic emphasis on 5G coverage and fiber-to-the-home expansion. The group targets higher-value postpaid customers and digital service bundles to lift average revenue per user and reduce churn, while sustaining high cash generation to support investments and shareholder remuneration.
On February 23, 2026, Telefônica Brasil reported its fourth-quarter 2025 results, highlighting 116.7 million total accesses, solid growth in postpaid and FTTH bases and a 7.1% year-on-year rise in net revenue to R$15.6 billion. EBITDA rose 8.1% year-on-year in the quarter, operating cash flow increased 16.0%, and capex intensity declined, signaling improving efficiency as the company expands 5G to 716 municipalities and passes 31.0 million homes with fiber.
Full-year 2025 net income grew 11.2% to R$6.17 billion, supporting a robust shareholder return of R$6.38 billion paid in 2025 and a payout above 100% of earnings through a mix of interest on equity, capital reduction and buybacks. The company has already approved further distributions for payment in 2026, reinforcing its commitment to return at least all net income from 2024 to 2026 while continuing to grow B2C connectivity and new digital businesses at mid- to high-single-digit rates.

Spark’s Take on VIV Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, VIV is a Outperform.
Telefonica Brasil’s strong financial performance and positive technical indicators are the primary drivers of the stock’s high score. The earnings call further supports this with robust growth in key areas and a commitment to shareholder value. Valuation is reasonable, though not a standout factor. Prepaid revenue challenges are a minor concern.
