Vodafone Group (VOD): news on Thursday 22 October 2026
News from the 24 hours to Thursday morning, 22 October 2026.
Tone of the day
What the score means. Each score rates how good or bad the news was for the company, from −10 (clearly bad) to +10 (clearly good). 0 is neutral, and anything beyond ±6 is strong and rare. It rates the coverage, not the share price.
Why it scored this way
Coverage was mixed: the UK Together offer with HBO Max and VodafoneThree goals were positive, as were network and AI initiatives. Against that, scam call accusations in Australia, proposed EU roaming cap cuts and a bearish technical note weighed.
What drove it
- Australian scam calls dispute
- UK Together offer and VodafoneThree
- EU roaming caps
