On May 15, 2025, reports indicated that Telefonica, the Spanish co-owner of Virgin Media O2, was exploring a full takeover of the UK telecoms giant. This potential move comes amid a broader shake-up in the Spanish political landscape.
Virgin Media O2 is a 50-50 joint venture between Liberty Global and Telefonica, representing a substantial asset in Liberty Global's portfolio. A full takeover by Telefonica would involve acquiring Liberty Global's stake.
Such a transaction could provide Liberty Global with an opportunity to monetize its investment in VMO2, aligning with its strategy of actively managing its portfolio and unlocking shareholder value through strategic transactions.
