It is the world's fifth-largest telecommunications company by revenue.

As of April 2020, the German government held a direct 14.5% stake in company stock and another 17.4% through the government bank KfW.[5] On 4th June 2024, the German government reduced its total shareholding to 27.8%.[a][6] The company is a component of the EURO STOXX 50 stock market index.[7]
