TELEFONICA SA shares rose 6.7% after the telecom operator forecasted accelerated growth in core European markets for the second half of 2026. This surge represents the largest single-day gain for the stock in more than six years. Investors are reacting to a combination of lower leverage and a shift toward European consolidation as Telefonica exits non-core Latin American markets.
