Key catalyst

FY2025 earnings release and guidance (quarterly/annual) • 2026-02-23

Expected move: +9%

Biggest risk

Bear case assumes weaker BRL, slower postpaid/handset financing recovery, competitive pressure on prices and margin compression leading to lower cash flow and multiple compression.

Invalidation

Break below $12 or thesis failure.

What would change my mind?

Bull case assumes continued ARPU improvement, higher-margin fixed broadband upsell, stable BRL or appreciation versus USD, and positive surprise in free cash flow enabling higher multiples and optionality (M&A or buybacks).

Commentary

Market sentiment is mixed-to-neutral: analyst targets cluster around the low-to-mid $13s with a handful of higher outliers, producing muted upside from the current anchor [#SERP-3], [#SERP-4]. Coverage concentration and the pending FY2025 release create two-way risk in the near term, with FX and macro the dominant thematic for longer-term conviction [#SERP-1].
