Airtel Africa (Buy, TP: 300p, +90%) Q4 25: Solid finish; underlying trends accelerating again; Mo-Mo IPO delayed
Airtel Africa has reported a solid set of Q4 results with a continued improvement in underlying trends and lower than expected capex. However, shares are down 8% today. We think this is driven by the delay in the IPO of the Mobile Money business to H1 2026 and the lack of commentary around the second tranche of the share buyback as well as some profit taking. Operationally trends are strong and so we remain Buyers with a price target of 300p.Airtel Africa PLC Formerly known as Airtel Africa Ltd.
