Vodacom (Neutral, TP: ZAR140, +46%) Q3 24 Quick Take: Decent quarter

Vodacom reported a decent set of Q3 results. Numbers (revenue only this quarter) slightly missed consensus expectations, but pro forma service revenue growth continued to grow towards the high end of the medium-term guidance.

5G FWA in EM Rapidly falling CPE prices likely to accelerate adoption in EM

This is the 4th in a series of notes looking at FWA (see HERE, HERE and HERE). Recent sharp declines in 5G FWA CPE prices and the launch of 5G RedCap makes us more optimistic on timing of widespread adoption in EM.

African Telcos Deep dive on Fintech valuations; stay Bullish on AAF and MTN

We deep dive on African Telco’s Fintech valuations in this note which is a follow up of our higher-level note Show me the (Mobile) Money. African Telcos are becoming more active about unlocking value from Mobile Money (MoMo) with MTN’s recent deal with Mastercard and now rumours that AAF is looking to IPO its MoMo business. Global Fintech/Payments multiples have derated over the past couple of years, but we continue to see great value in the African Telco’s MoMo assets which remain one the key non-core drivers for growth.

Wolfspeed: who could buy? At what price?

JANA Partners recently urged Wolfspeed management to consider a sale or explore other strategic alternatives. Execution delays at Mohawk Valley and Siler City over the years, combined with a slowdown in end-demand make the question legitimate. We review the situation, including potential acquirers and acquisition price.

Charter Model Update

This note focuses mostly on model changes. Please see separate notes reviewing results and on thoughts following the earnings call. We lowered broadband adds, revenue and EBITDA. We also expect leverage to approach 4.25x by the end of the year. This likely rules out further repurchases this year, unless EBITDA is stronger than we expect. No change to thesis, though we expect Broadband stocks to be challenged for at least next few quarters. Price target is $431 (+69%).
