Odido IPO: Dutch Telecom Giant Eyes Amsterdam Listing
14 Jan
Summary
- Odido, a Dutch mobile operator, is preparing for an IPO in Amsterdam.
- The company, owned by Apax Partners and Warburg Pincus, may raise 1 billion euros.
- This listing signals a resurgence in European IPO activity after a slow period.
Dutch telecoms company Odido is reportedly nearing a significant Initial Public Offering (IPO) on the Amsterdam stock exchange, potentially as soon as next week. This anticipated listing by the mobile operator, currently under the ownership of Apax Partners and Warburg Pincus, could secure around 1 billion euros in capital. The move represents a notable development, adding momentum to the tentative rebound observed in Europe's IPO market this year.
Formerly known as T-Mobile Netherlands, Odido stands as the largest mobile phone company in the Netherlands, serving approximately eight million customers. Apax Partners and Warburg Pincus acquired the company in 2021 for an enterprise value of 5.1 billion euros. Odido had previously considered a public offering last year but postponed its plans due to market volatility.
The potential listing of Odido, alongside Czech defense giant CSG's confirmed plans for an Amsterdam IPO, marks a significant uptick for the European market. This activity follows a quiet period in 2025, with these deals expected to be the first major Amsterdam IPOs in over a year, potentially revitalizing investor confidence.
