Upturn Advisory & Investor View for LILAK

10/28/2026: LILAK (3-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Liberty Latin America is a regional telecommunications provider offering integrated broadband, mobile, and B2B services across Latin America and the Caribbean. Its main strength lies in its extensive subsea and terrestrial fiber network, which supports a converged service model. The company's primary growth story is built on regional consolidation and upgrading its network to high-speed fiber. However, investors must consider the significant risks posed by high debt levels, currency volatility in emerging markets, and intense competition from larger incumbents. This stock may suit investors seeking long-term exposure to regional digital infrastructure, though they should monitor debt management and integration execution closely.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
LILAK receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals. The rating is constrained by soft analyst coverage, weak price momentum, and limited analyst upside.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
LILAK has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and strong ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, moderate earnings growth (+7.0%) and solid cash generation (FCF margin 6.9%) are partially offset by slightly negative revenue growth (-0.3%), weak profitability (net margin -13.8%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
LILAK's financial health is supported by moderate cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (6.9% of revenue). Overall financial-health metrics support a 3-star score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is LILAK's strongest growth driver at +41.7% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (-0.3%, slightly negative) and earnings growth (+7.0%, moderate) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 70.0% and approximately 86.1% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 20.23% supports management-shareholder alignment.

FMR Inc 3.57%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
LILAK generates approximately $675 of gross profit, $162 of operating income, and $69 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Moderate margins and weak cash conversion support a 3-star rating, while capital efficiency is soft.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 15.09%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
LILAK has a liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
