Salt/Matterhorn Q4 22: A slower but solid quarter; Debt rating upgrade?

Salt continues to outperform Swisscom and Sunrise-UPC in Switzerland, but it has seen a bigger sequential slowdown in SR growth than either this quarter. EBITDA growth has slowed less, but is down a touch to +4.2% y/y from +4.6% y/y. Capex is up as fixed net adds remain good, and we think that the new P2P FTTH wholesale deal with Swisscom will bring a new leg of growth for Salt.
