In the Q4 2020 Investor Letter, Silver Ring Value Partners’ highlighted a few stocks and Liberty Latin America Ltd. (NASDAQ:LILA) is one of them. Liberty Latin America Ltd. (NASDAQ:LILA) operates as a telecommunication company. In the last three months, Liberty Latin America Ltd. (NASDAQ:LILA) stock gained 11.4% and on January 19th it had a closing price of $11.44. Here is what Silver Ring Value Partners’ said:

“Business Vision in 5 Years: The company successfully integrated the AT&T acquisition in Puerto Rico, leading to a much more profitable and competitively advantaged business able to seamlessly offer the “quad-play” (wireless, data, landline phone and TV). It has completed a few other deals, in each case paying careful attention to price and strategic fit. The low data penetration rates allowed the company to grow much faster than more mature U.S. and EU peers, especially after the COVID pandemic highlighted the importance of data to consumers.

What Can Prevent It From Getting There:

• Government regulation hurts the economics of its businesses

• Competitive intensity, especially in markets like Chile, with several competitors, flares up and competes away the benefit of market growth

• A prolonged recession in Latin America leads government to nationalize some of the businesses.”
