Tele2 is the number two telecom operator by market share in Sweden, after Telia. Tele2 was a pure mobile operator until 2018 when it acquired Com Hem, Sweden's largest cable company. Tele2 is also present in the Baltic markets, where it runs a pure mobile business. Tele2 is a well-managed firm, showing good cost discipline and a healthy dividend policy, which we expect will remain.
