On May 1, 2026, Cellnex Telecom S.A. held a shareholder/analyst call featuring participants including CEO Marco Emilio Patuano and Chairman Óscar Fanjul Martín. Earlier the same day, Cellnex's General Shareholders' Meeting broadly supported all board proposals, appointing Cynthia Gordon and Kais Ben Hamida as independent directors and re-electing Marco Patuano as CEO, Óscar Fanjul as Chair, and Marieta del Rivero, Ana García Fau, Maite Ballester, and Dominique D’Hinnin as independent directors. This followed the company's Q1 2026 earnings report on April 30, which highlighted a strong start to the year with a 4.7% year-on-year growth in Points of Presence (POPs), a 6.4% increase in adjusted EBITDA, and a 7.2% rise in EBITDA after lease, expanding margins from 58.8% to 60.5%. Recurrent levered free cash flow grew by 12.2%, with an 18% per-share increase, attributed to organic growth and a share buyback program, while maintaining a robust liquidity position of approximately $6 billion. On April 29, Cellnex reported Q1 EBITDA rose 4%, aligning with analyst expectations, and positive free cash flow reached 118 million euros, rebounding from a negative balance of 66 million euros in the prior year's first quarter. CEO Marco Patuano also indicated the company's willingness to cooperate on mergers and acquisitions in Europe, noting cooperation efforts in the UK and Spain, alongside uncertainty in France, which accounts for 22% of its revenues.
