TIM SA (NYSE:TIMB) is a major telecommunications company in Brazil, providing mobile, fixed, broadband, and data services to individuals and businesses.

The primary catalyst for TIM SA’s stock appreciation in 2025 was the improved financial performance following the sale of its NetCo division last year, which resulted in a significant increase in operating margins and a return to consolidated profit in the second half of 2024. The boost is still ongoing.

The company reported group revenue of €14.5 billion, a 3.1% year-over-year increase, and EBITDA AL of €3.7 billion, up 10.1% year-over-year, despite a full-year net loss that was sharply reduced by 67% to €364 million. The market responded strongly to these results.

The consensus price target of $16 implies 1.76% downside.

TIMB stock is up 48.19% year-to-date.
