AMX(Buy, TP: $22, +34%) America Movil - Q3 24: Accelerating growth, 4...
AMX reported a good set of Q3 numbers yesterday after close. Both revenue and EBITDA beat consensus by ~4%. Service revenue growth accelerated to 5.5% in Q3 vs. 4.7% last quarter and EBITDA growth accelerated to 7.3% from 6.9% in Q2. Almost all geographies beat.

Moody's Ratings ("Moody's") has today changed the outlook on Grupo Televisa, S.A.B. ("Televisa") to negative from stable. At the same time, we affirmed the company's Baa3 long term issuer rating, Baa3 senior unsecured ratings and (P)Baa3 senior unsecured shelf (P) ratings. The negative outlook ref...

Liberty LA (Buy, TP: $13, +45%) cements Chile exit, longer road for AM...
Liberty LA announced this week that AMX will take control of their 50/50 JV in Chile. This isn’t surprising but still cements a good “exit” for Liberty LA (putting zero value on the residual 9% stake this implies a 15.5x exit on FY 23 VTR EBITDA) and requiring a long-term perspective from AMX in order to turnaround the business - though we note recent top line and KPIs look to be (finally) stabilising.

AMX (Buy, TP: $24, +25%) Why a seemingly (quite) healthy Telco just f...
WOM Chile filed for Chapter 11 last month (April 1), followed a couple of weeks later by a local filing for WOM Colombia. Two filings in one month. Colombia’s relatively modest financing difficulties were likely sealed by the Chilean filing and we review events in Chile to work out how a seemingly successful scaled wireless operator (close to 25% market share of service revenue, 37% EBITDA margins) ended up here.

AMX(Buy, TP: $24, +24%) Televisa (Neutral, $3.5, +11%) Megacable (Neut...
The market continued to eek out broadband growth in Q1, with Megacable leading the charge. We applaud management’s execution here and the double digit revenue and EBITDA growth, though this now seems embedded in expectations; we think it’s time to close out Megacable stock gains (30% YTD), trading on a 5.5% EFCF yield for 2025. Our target remains MXN55, though we have taken out the probability of cable-cable deal synergies, offset by upgrades following Q1s.

AMX (Buy, TP: $24, +40%) AMX - Solid underlying Q4s, messy Argentina ...
AMX reported solid underlying Q4s last night, coming in 1.5% ahead of expectations for revenue and in-line at EBITDA adjusting for Argentina (which booked a large negative contribution to both given 9m 23 hyperinflation adjustments). Trends are in the main unchanged: Mexican wireless OK but lacking the support from price rises – this may come after the Presidential elections and is arguably needed as a catalyst for better earnings momentum; elsewhere, a return to solid adds in Mexican broadband;...

LatAm Telcos – 2024 Outlook: Top picks Brazil (TIM and Vivo) and Megac...
After strong stock performance in 2023 we think the Brazilians will continue to perform into 2024 on the back of solid wireless fundamentals: rising prices, revenue/EBITDA > inflation, falling capex/sales – and with IOC (tax) risks in the rear view for now. Shareholder returns are also sector leading whilst valuations are attractive (notably versus quickly falling rates).
