Company Report

America Movil Has Financial Flexibility To Drive Investment or Shareholder Returns

América Móvil holds a commanding position in several countries throughout Latin America. Political, regulatory, and economic uncertainty, coupled with occasional competitive flare-ups, limit its ability to exercise pricing power, but we expect Móvil’s scale and strong balance sheet will allow it to deliver steady results. The firm is now looking for new acquisition targets. We don't believe a transformative deal is likely, but we are wary that the firm will use its strong balance sheet to undertake a series of sizable transactions that could dilute its competitive position.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

América Móvil has unmatched scale in the Latin American telecom market. It serves far more wireless customers in the region than any other firm and holds the leading share in Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina, and the second-largest share in Brazil.

Bears

Regulators often take aim at dominant carriers, like América Móvil, that they believe have stifled competition or inhibited investment. There is no telling how far regulators will ultimately go to curb Móvil's market position, especially in Mexico.

América Móvil is the largest telecom carrier in Latin America, serving about 335 million wireless customers across the region. It also provides fixed-line phone, internet access, and television services in most of the countries it serves. Mexico is the firm’s largest market, providing about 35% of service revenue. Móvil dominates the Mexican wireless market with about 60% customer share and also serves about half of the country's fixed-line internet access customers.
