Liberty Global: Asymmetric Bet On Multiple Spinoffs
Liberty Global's value-unlocking thesis is reactivated, with management now providing a clear 24-month timeline for potential spin-offs or IPOs. Despite depressed FCF and ongoing buybacks, I see at least $20/share in hidden value, especially as Dutch assets show early signs of turnaround. VMO2, VodafoneZiggo, and Telenet are prime spin-off candidates; successful separation could rapidly close Liberty's persistent holding company discount.

Liberty Global: Q1 Deep Dive, Still A Deep Value Play
Liberty Global's SOTP valuation offers a deep-value play, with gradual unlocking via buybacks. VMO2 and VodafoneZiggo face competitive challenges; VMO2 contributes significant dividends, while VodafoneZiggo's turnaround plan remains uncertain. Telenet's high CapEx impacts short-term FCF, but improvements are expected by 2026; Liberty Growth's portfolio is valued at $3.3 billion.

Liberty Global: Making Sense Of The Valuation
Liberty Global's management suggests a $25+ SOTP valuation, but the market values it at $10.5, indicating a disparity in perspectives. Structural separation of debt and rise of "Liberty Services" shift value to HoldCo, while lowering risks. Capex cycles are peaking, with Belgium set for meaningful FCF uplift by 2026.
