AMX vs. ETF Alternatives

Company Description

History

We were established in September 2000 in a spin-off from Telmex, a leading provider of local and long-distance telephone services in Mexico. The spin-off was implemented using a procedure under the Mexican General Corporations Law (Ley General de Sociedades Mercantiles) called... More

Wednesday, May 1, 2:27 PM As expected, Mexico's Congress has passed a telecom reform bill that removes foreign investment limits and creates an independent regulator that can force companies with 50%+ market share - America Movil (AMX -3.4%) and Grupo Televisa (TV -0.1%) to sell assets. However, automatic asset sales, once a concern, aren't part of the package, and a Congressional revision gives the companies a chance to appeal fines and asset sale rulings. AMX is giving back yesterday's gains. Comment! [Tech, On the Move, Consumer]
Tuesday, April 30, 12:44 PM America Movil (AMX +2.6%) rallies after filing its 2012 20-F. The giant Latin American carrier admits Mexico's telecom reform bill could have a material impact on its results starting in 2014, but this is already widely expected. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
Monday, April 15, 11:32 AM America Movil (AMX -2.7%) slides after Bernstein launches coverage with an Underperform and $16.50 PT. Over the weekend, Bloomberg observed Carlos Slim might try to make lemonade out of lemons by using Mexico's proposed telecom reform legislation (a negative for AMX's mobile ops) to expand into pay-TV services, and thereby take on local giant Grupo Televisa (TV). Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
Wednesday, April 10, 6:00 PM Carlos Slim has raised his stake in America Movil (AMX) to 30.8%, according to a new 13D. Slim disclosed a 29.5% stake in the carrier in an October '12 filing. 4 Comments [Tech]
Tuesday, March 26, 11:11 AM An upgrade to Buy from BofA/Merrill helps America Movil (AMX +1.4%) tick higher. The giant Latin American carrier is up 14% from its March 18 close, after selling off on concerns about Mexico's telecom reform bill. Morgan Stanley upgraded shares a week ago. 1 Comment [Tech]
Friday, March 22, 1:05 PM After 14 hours of debate, Mexico's lower house has approved an amended version of a telecom reform bill that seeks to create a new independent regulator and remove foreign investment limits on wireline carriers. Some details still need to be worked out, such as whether reciprocal foreign investment arrangements should be required of the home countries of investing firms. America Movil (AMX +2.8%) is rallying for the second day in a row. Grupo Televisa (TV +0.6%) is up slightly. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
Friday, March 22, 3:23 AM Mexico's lower house of Congress has approved a telecom bill that will give authorities the power to force dominant players to sell assets. The measures will also create an independent regulator and ease restrictions on foreign investment. The law will hit America Movil (AMOV) in the telecom market and Groupo Televisa (TV) in the broadcast market, although investors are hoping that America Movil will be able to compensate by being allowed to enter the TV sector. (Previous) Comment! [Global & FX, Top Stories, Tech, Consumer]
Tuesday, March 19, 10:31 AM Morgan Stanley is becoming more positive on America Movil (AMX +2.1%) and Telefonica (TEF +0.9%), upgrading the former to Equalweight and the latter to Overweight. MS thinks Mexican regulatory fears are now priced into AMX shares, and argues near-term results could be propped up by lower customer acquisition/retention costs and price hikes for the carrier's least profitable customers. As for Telefonica, the firm thinks the carrier's home market of Spain has become "more attractive," thanks to Telefonica's end-to-end service offerings. Comment! [Tech, Quick Ideas]
Sunday, March 17, 4:32 AM Apple (AAPL), America Movil (AMX) unit Telcel and Telefonica (TEF) might have to start paying damages to Mexican technology services company Ifone after the country's Supreme Court upheld a ruling that firm owns the rights to the Ifone brand name. Comment! [Tech, Consumer]
Friday, March 15, 9:23 AM Mexico's telecom reform bill continues to plow ahead. The bill, which would create an independent regulator that could weaken America Movil's (AMX) and Grupo Televisa's (TV) dominant positions in the local telecom and TV broadcasting landscapes, has been approved by a Congressional committee without any changes. Mexico's lower house is expected to vote on it next week. America Movil currently has ~70% of the Mexican mobile phone market. Comment! [Tech, Consumer]
Wednesday, March 13, 1:08 PM A downgrade to Neutral from HSBC sends America Movil (AMX -5.2%) shares tumbling. Credit Suisse issues a similar downgrade yesterday, but shares fell only modestly. Both ratings cuts follow the arrival of a bill that would create an independent regulator that would have the power to impose penalties on and perhaps even break up AMX's Mexican telecom ops. Grupo Televisa (TV -2%), also targeted by the bill, is down as well. 2 Comments [Tech, On the Move, Consumer]
Monday, March 11, 1:52 PM The Mexican government has Carlos Slim's American Movil (AMX -1.9%) and top TV broadcaster Grupo Televisa (TV -0.6%) in its sights: a bill presented today would "would create an independent regulator that could designate companies as dominant, impose stiffer penalties on them and even break them up," according to a draft seen by Reuters. The bill, which could have trouble making it through a divided Congress, also mandates rivals be provided with cheaper access to Slim's networks (previous). Mobile carrier NII Holdings (NIHD +3.3%) is rallying. 2 Comments [Tech, Consumer, On the Move]
Monday, February 25, 5:40 PM Desperate to become less dependent on Google/Apple, over a dozen carriers are now backing Mozilla's Firefox OS - the list includes Sprint (S), Telefonica (TEF), T-Mobile (DTEGY.PK), and America Movil (AMX). Sony (SNE), Huawei, ZTE, LG, and Alcatel (ALU) plan to make hardware for the platform, but Samsung, which is committed to Tizen as an Android alternative, isn't interested. An AMX exec promises $100 Firefox phones will arrive; Android phones are already in that price range in emerging markets. (previous) 3 Comments [Tech]
Wednesday, February 13, 11:11 AM America Movil (AMX -9.1%) tumbles to new 52-week lows after missing Q4 estimates thanks to slowing growth, margin pressures, and forex. While AMX's pay-TV and mobile data service revenue respectively rose 33% and 20% Y/Y, mobile voice fell 1.7% and wireline voice 7.2%. EBITDA margin fell 240 bps Y/Y to 31.1%, thanks in part to 3G/4G investments and smartphone subsidies. 5.6M wireless subs and 1.3M wireline subs were added in the seasonally strong quarter vs. 4.1M and 1.6M in Q3, with strong growth in Brazil. (PR) Comment! [Tech, On the Move, Earnings]
Wednesday, February 13, 9:10 AM Premarket gainers: RCON +56%. PPHM +17%. EZCH +11%. WFR +9%. CMCSA +8%. GRPN +8%. VG +5%.
Losers: RATE -18%. CLF -14%. RAX -12%. AVEO -11%. AMX -6%. DF -6%. NICE -5%. Comment! [On the Move]
Wednesday, February 13, 4:23 AM America Movil (AMX AMOV): Q4 net profit -8.2% to 14.962B pesos ($1.16B) vs consensus of 16.307B. Revenues -1.1% to 198B vs 191.6B pesos. (PR) 1 Comment [Earnings, Tech, Consumer]
