Context and risks
Moderate regulatory risk in Sweden due to potential pricing pressure in the telecom sector. The partnership with Brookfield for sovereign AI adds a layer of dependence on an external partner, but not a material geopolitical risk.

Verdict: Hold; the combination of high FCF yield and moderate growth is positive, but the elevated P/E and unsustainable payout justify waiting for a better entry point.
Main risk: The 160.8% payout is the biggest risk: if earnings do not grow enough, Telia could be forced to cut the dividend, which would hit the stock.
