Here is what Bonhoeffer Capital Management has to say about Millicom International Cellular S.A. (NASDAQ:TIGO) in its Q1 2023 investor letter:

Millicom International Cellular S.A. (NASDAQ:TIGO), a Latin American telecommunications firm that provides high-speed internet, cable, and wireless to nine markets, has become a special situation, as two strategic investors are either bidding for the entire firm or purchasing large stakes in Millicom. Millicom is also in the process of separating both its towers business (about 10,000 towers) and its TIGO Money business for either sale or co-investment. Based upon historical tower sales by Millicom and comparable transactions and trading prices for Latin American tower businesses, we think the towers are worth about $1.4 billion, or $8.00 per share. Given the current price of Millicom, the stub has an implied value of about 9.9x 2023 FCF or 3.2x projected 2028 FCF. Millicom’s debt level is low, and the company will be in the position to buy back shares next year while continuing to invest in its fiber rollout. There is additional value outside the core business in Millicom’s data centers and TIGO Money.”
