Dutch telecom KPN on Wednesday unveiled a broad investment programme, pledging more than €5 billion across its home market through 2030. The funds will be channelled into expanding fibre-optic coverage, accelerating 5G roll-out, strengthening AI capabilities and upgrading cybersecurity systems.
The operator also announced higher shareholder payouts beginning in 2026, proposing dividends of €0.20 per share that year and €0.25 per share in 2027. KPN said it intends to return 80% of free cash flow as dividends, signaling confidence in its medium- to long-term cash generation despite global uncertainties.
Management revised its cost-saving timetable, now targeting annual operating cost reductions of €100 million by 2030 rather than the earlier 2025 target. Capital expenditure is expected to fall below €1 billion in 2027 before stabilising in the following years.
Analysts say KPN’s strategy reflects a broader European telecom trend of heavy investment in next-generation networks and digital infrastructure to meet growing consumer demand for faster, more secure connectivity.
