FYBR 4Q24 Quick Take: Strong financial results; adds a little soft

Fiber deployment and fiber net adds were below expectations (relatedly). Adds in base markets beat expectations but adds in new markets missed. Revenue and EBITDA beat expectations due mostly to another very strong quarter in the business segment. Fiber EBITDA margins are closing in on 50%. We see no risk to deal close; Verizon should be happy with these results. Change to rating and target reflects fact that the deal is a fait accompli, and the price is set.

FYBR: Verizon acquisition approved!

Shareholders representing 63% of the shares voted in favor of the transaction this morning. We congratulate the Frontier and Verizon management teams for getting the deal done. While we think Frontier should have received more, we recognize that most large shareholders will lock in a very substantial gain while removing uncertainty with this transaction. This is a strong win for Verizon, who will secure a great asset at a great price.

Televisa (Neutral, TP: $3.1, +50%) Q4 24: Solid FCF but weak fundamentals/KPIs

Televisa reported Q4’s after close. Cable revenue and OSI were broadly as expected but KPIs were weak this quarter, with broadband net adds back into negative territory. Focus remains on FCF rather than growing the base, helped by relatively low cable capex this year.
