LSE:VOD (Vodafone Group Plc)
About VOD
Vodafone Group Plc is one of the largest telecommunication providers in the world. The company serves over 150 million customers across Europe and Africa, operating out of three separate divisions, European Consumer, Vodafone Business, and Africa Consumer.
Its European Consumer segment maintains wireless and cable telecommunications infrastructure, enabling its customers to call, text, use mobile data, and access TV broadcasts. Its African Consumer operates in a similar fashion. However, it also provides additional digital services, including the Internet of Things (IoT), merchant solutions, and a financial payment network called M-Pesa.
The Vodafone Business division provides custom-tailored telecommunication solutions to the public and private sectors supported by its global network.
Despite being based in the United Kingdom, the majority of revenue is generated in other European nations, including Germany, Italy, and Spain.
