Earnings call transcript: Kyivstar Q2 2026 profit miss offsets strong growth By Investing.com

{ "summary": "Kyivstar reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of $339 million, up 19% from a year earlier, while adjusted business momentum in telecom and digital services remained strong. However, earnings per share came in at $0.33, below the $0.36 forecast, as a non-cash warrant charge weighed on net profit. The stock was down 1.64% to $13.79 in recent trading, compared with a previous close of $14.02, suggesting investors focused more on the earnings miss than on the company’s stronger top-line growth and raised outlook." }
