In short
- Thesis
- América Móvil trades close to its intrinsic value because investors pay for its postpaid and broadband growth, and steady growth with a stable peso and no new rules in Mexico can keep it there.
- Gap
- Can close. The Q4 2026 report, expected in early February 2027, shows whether service revenue growth and lower debt continue.
Company guidance: Capital expenditures of about US$7.0 billion (Mex$129.4 billion) for 2026 (, 2025 annual report (20-F))
Price history
About
América Móvil gives mobile and fixed-line telecommunications services in 16 countries in Latin America and seven countries in Europe. Its brands include Telcel and Telmex in Mexico, Claro in most of Latin America, and A1 in Austria and Eastern Europe, where it owns 61.0% of Telekom Austria. Services include mobile voice and data, fixed-line voice, broadband and pay TV.
At September 30, 2026, it had 413 million access lines: 332 million wireless subscribers, including 153 million postpaid, and 80 million fixed-line accesses. Brazil and Mexico have the most wireless subscribers. Revenue was Mex$943.6 billion in 2025.
The company reports in Mexican pesos, and each ADS on the New York Stock Exchange represents 20 Series B shares. The Slim family may be deemed to control the company. The head office is in Mexico City, and Daniel Hajj Aboumrad is its chief executive officer.
Thesis
América Móvil trades close to its intrinsic value because investors pay for steady growth in postpaid and broadband customers and for lower debt, but they also price in regulation in Mexico and changes in the peso. In Q3 2026, service revenue rose 7.2% to Mex$211.4 billion, or 5.3% at constant exchange rates, and EBITDA rose 8.9% to Mex$102.2 billion. Net debt without leases fell to Mex$400.1 billion, or 1.21 times EBITDAaL, from 1.52 times at the end of 2025. Net income moves with foreign exchange gains and losses on debt in other currencies.
For the ADS to hold its value, three things must be true. Postpaid and broadband growth must continue in Brazil, Mexico and Colombia. The new telecommunications law and regulator in Mexico must not add costs to the asymmetric regulation that applies to the company. The peso must not lose much value against the U.S. dollar, because the ADS trades in dollars.
The Q4 2026 report, expected in early February 2027, is the next test. A weak peso or new rules in Mexico can push the ADS below its intrinsic value.

Risks
- In Mexico, the company is part of the economic interest group that the regulator declared the preponderant economic agent, so asymmetric rules apply to it. Mexico enacted a new telecommunications law in 2025 and created a new regulator, and new rules can lower revenue or raise costs.
- The company reports in pesos and has debt in other currencies. Foreign exchange losses lowered net income by Mex$3.6 billion in Q3 2026, and a weaker peso lowers the value of the ADS in U.S. dollars.
- The company needs large investments in networks and spectrum. It budgeted capital expenditures of about US$7.0 billion for 2026, and concession and spectrum renewals can cost more than planned.
- Argentina's economy is hyperinflationary, so its results are adjusted for inflation, and economic problems in other countries can lower results in pesos.
- The Slim family may be deemed to control the company and can elect most of the board. The company also has significant transactions with affiliates.
