Telecom Giant Orange CI Grows Revenue 10% Across Three Countries

Most telcos in the world would be happy with 5% revenue growth right now.

Orange Côte d’Ivoire (BRVM: ORAC) just posted 10.4% across three separate countries in a year marked by rising taxes, a difficult security environment in one of its markets, and increased competition across the board. That kind of growth does not happen by accident.

The group’s consolidated revenue hit 1,197 billion FCFA in 2025 — its highest ever.

Every single market contributed. Cote d’Ivoire kept its steady climb powered by fibre and data.

Burkina Faso held its ground despite real operational headwinds.

And Liberia, often overlooked, quietly delivered one of the standout performances in the group, driven by eSIM adoption, energy services, and a sharp commercial push on mobile data.

The dividend is attractive: 800 FCFA gross per share, a net yield of around 4% for individual investors at the current price. The board is paying it from a healthy reserve base, which says something about how management thinks about capital discipline.

Here is the thing, though.

The reported net profit growth of 6.1% actually understates how well the business performed.

Strip out a one-off customs fine in Burkina Faso, and the underlying growth was 9.3%. The core business is in better shape than the headline suggests.

There is more to this story — the investment thesis, the risks worth watching, the technical picture on the share price, and a plain-language verdict on whether this stock belongs in your portfolio.
