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.
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.
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.
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 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;...
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).

AMX reported broadly solid Q3s after close last night, with revenue 1% ahead (supported by a towers sale) while EBITDA slightly missed (0.5%). However, this miss in EBITDA was driven by “Other” which tends to be a little volatile, whilst Mexico, Brazil and Colombia were slightly ahead.
AMX reported Q2s after close last night. Both revenue and EBITDA slightly missed consensus and our forecasts, but net income beat expectations thanks to FX gains. Ultimately trends are robust, still supported by 1 month of Oi (on a y/y basis), though if there's an area of disappointment for our positive stance it's the still low level of buy back.
