Milicom: Leaner, Stronger, But Still Uncertain
Millicom offers strong growth potential in Latin America via fibre broadband and mobile money, but faces structural and regulatory uncertainties. Recent restructuring boosted cash flow and reduced leverage, yet long-term cost discipline and FX risks remain unresolved concerns. Competitive advantages exist in last-mile fibre and bundling, but regulatory trends will likely erode margins over time.

Despite modest revenue growth, operating profit and returns surged due to structural cost reductions and a shift to higher-margin services. The balance sheet remains stretched, with high leverage and volatile tax rates; disciplined reinvestment and financial repair are essential for sustained value creation.
