Europe’s largest Telephone company Deutsche Telekom AG, has stated that 2nd quarter profit tumbled 35 percent on German client losses, higher interest costs and a stronger euro.

Deutsche Telekom AG rose by three percent in German trading after repeating full annual profit along with fell cash-flow forecasts.
