In the said letter, Generation PMCA highlighted a few stocks and Millicom Intl Cellular SA (NASDAQ:TIGO) is one of them. Millicom Intl Cellular SA (NASDAQ:TIGO) is an international telecommunications and media company. Year-to-date, Millicom Intl Cellular SA (NASDAQ:TIGO) stock lost 40.3% and on September 3rd it had a closing price of $28.81. Here is what Generation PMCA said:

“Millicom International Cellular, under its Tigo brand, is one of the largest telecom operators in Central and South America, with the leading or second largest market share in each of its nine operating countries. The region is characterized by rapid economic growth, an expanding middle class, and a young and growing population that is set to increasingly adopt 4G and high-speed broadband services. Millicom is now in the process of transitioning its customer base to more profitable 4G mobile and high-speed cable subscriptions, shifting recurring revenue from 60% of total revenue today to 75-80% over the next few years while simultaneously reducing churn rates. Higher network density and a larger mix of higher margin services should lead to increased profit margins, stronger free cash flow and a higher return on invested capital supported by lower capital intensity. Exponentially growing demand for data in an increasingly digitalizing region means that Millicom’s network is set for attractive long-term growth as customers migrate onto higher quality network services. The industry’s inherent barriers to entry and Millicom’s formidable scale-based competitive advantage should enable the company to capture long-term growth and gradually consolidate its markets. Despite competitive, regulatory, jurisdictional, and macroeconomic risks, our margin of safety appears significant with our sum-of-the-parts FMV of KR585 (Swedish Krona), including a minority stake in Jumia, the burgeoning ‘Amazon of Africa’.”
