Guidance maintained – TIM reaffirmed its 2026 and medium-term financial targets while highlighting AI, data centers, and digital infrastructure as future growth priorities. The deal will see TIM fall back into state ownership once again after the Italian carrier became privatized in 1997. TIM’s management also said that the board’s assessment was based on TIM’s standalone business plan, which already supports the company’s financial guidance. According to Labriola, the Poste transaction would not change TIM’s strategic direction but could accelerate execution of the industrial plan while reducing execution risk. The company also reiterated the key assumptions underpinning its long-term plan, including its future relationship with tower company Inwit.
