Is there any guidance provided for Q3 2025 or the full year, and how does it align with market expectations?

Based on the information supplied in the news release – which only states the headline “VEON 2Q25 Earnings Release: Direct Digital Revenues Up 57 % YoY. Solid Execution, Strong Results” – there is no mention of any forward‑looking guidance for either the third quarter of 2025 or the full‑year 2025.

Because the release does not contain:

• Specific revenue, EBITDA, or cash‑flow targets for Q3 2025,
• Full‑year 2025 outlook figures (e.g., subscriber growth, digital‑services contribution, or profitability guidance),
• Commentary on how any such guidance compares to analysts’ consensus estimates,

we cannot evaluate whether any guidance was provided nor how it matches market expectations.

What this means for your question

Next steps (if you need a definitive answer):

1. Review the full earnings release – the brief title/summary you have is likely a teaser; the complete press release or accompanying investor presentation typically contains a “Guidance” section.
   
2. Check VEON’s Investor Relations website – they usually publish a PDF of the earnings release that includes forward‑looking statements.
   
3. Consult equity research reports or consensus estimates (e.g., Bloomberg, Refinitiv) to see the market’s expectations for Q3 2025 and FY 2025, and then compare them to any guidance that may be disclosed in the full document.

Until the full release is examined, the answer remains that no guidance is currently available in the news snippet you provided, and thus no comparison to market expectations can be made.
