Thesis Summary

Millicom entered the second half of 2026 with positive operating momentum: Q2 organic service revenue grew 5.4%, organic adjusted EBITDA grew 9.1%, and quarterly equity free cash flow reached a record USD 327 million. Management consequently raised FY2026 equity-free-cash-flow guidance to around USD 1.1 billion and lowered its year-end leverage objective to below 2.5x. The investment case is nevertheless balanced by a USD 93.38 share price on August 28, 2026, leverage of 2.73x after recent acquisitions, and execution risk from integrating and turning around the expanded portfolio. The resulting stance is Hold: operating delivery and shareholder distributions are constructive, but further upside depends on successful integration and achievement of the upgraded cash-flow and leverage targets.

This section is the 12-month view: analyst targets and the probability-weighted scenarios built from them. The intrinsic value at the top of this page answers a different question: what the business is worth today.

Scenarios · 12-month scenario targetsAnchored at research date

Bear CaseDownside scenario

$70.0020%

Integration and turnaround progress slows, organic growth weakens, and cash generation falls short of the upgraded objective. Leverage remaining at or above 2.5x would constrain financial flexibility and weaken confidence in the pace of shareholder distributions.

Base CaseCentral scenario

$96.0156%

Matches the consensus mean

Organic service-revenue and adjusted-EBITDA growth remain positive, integrations progress broadly as described by management, and FY2026 equity free cash flow finishes near the upgraded USD 1.1 billion objective while leverage declines below 2.5x.

Bull CaseUpside scenario

$120.0024%

Acquired operations converge rapidly toward Millicom-level profitability, organic growth remains positive, and cash generation exceeds the upgraded FY2026 objective. Successful deleveraging and confidence in sustainable shareholder distributions support a higher market valuation.

Scenarios are anchored to street consensus at the research date, with our probabilities and rationale.

Key Investment Merits

Q2 2026 organic service-revenue growth was 5.4%, organic adjusted-EBITDA growth was 9.1%, and equity free cash flow reached a quarterly record of USD 327 million.
Management reported that Ecuador and Uruguay were performing broadly in line with the Millicom average, while Colombia and Chile showed early profitability and cash-generation improvements.
Millicom raised FY2026 equity-free-cash-flow guidance to around USD 1.1 billion, targeted year-end leverage below 2.5x, and declared an additional USD 1.50-per-share interim dividend.

Key Investment Risks

Leverage was 2.73x at Q2 2026 after acquisitions, leaving execution necessary to achieve the below-2.5x year-end objective.
Integration and turnaround outcomes in Colombia and Chile remain important because management described those operations as progressing toward a steadier operating state.
Millicom identifies foreign-exchange volatility, inflation, competition, regulatory developments, cybersecurity threats, and acquisition-integration execution among material uncertainties.

All scenarios are estimates and subject to change. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
