Company Report

America Movil Earnings: A Focus on Customer Additions Has Lifted Growth but Not Cash Flow

America Movil delivered solid revenue growth across most markets during the first quarter, including Mexico and Brazil, the firm’s most important operations. Reported service revenue increased for the first time since mid-2022, increasing 1.1% versus the prior year. Absent currency movements, service revenue would have increased by 5%, accelerating from less than 4% during the second half of 2023. Cash generation remains disappointing, however. Our fair value estimate remains $21 per ADR.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

America Movil has unmatched scale in the Latin American telecom market. It serves far more wireless customers in the region than nearest rival Telefonica 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 America Movil, that they believe have stifled competition or inhibited investment. There is no telling how far regulators will ultimately go to curb Movil's market position.
