Grupo Televisa expects to finalize its US$2 billion acquisition of AT&T's Mexican business, in partnership with Fintech Holdings, likely in January after receiving regulatory approvals. This deal would give the combined entity about 23% of Mexico’s telecommunications market, including over 24 million wireless, 5.7 million broadband, and 6.3 million video subscribers. The acquisition is expected to generate synergies through bundled offers and shared back-office services, although a new mobile line registration law in Mexico may be temporarily slowing subscriber growth.
Televisa's third-quarter revenue declined by 3.8%, with core telecom revenue remaining flat and Sky experiencing a significant decline. The company's profitability improved due to Sky's variable cost structure and efficiency gains. Televisa plans to invest $400 million for a 50% stake in AT&T Mexico, though the benefits of this partnership for addressing fierce broadband competition are still unclear.
