Monitor the antitrust remedy implementation timeline and potential buyer for divested assets, as this could materially alter the competitive landscape and revenue mix. The core business ex-TMA shows modest growth but mobile subscriber losses warrant attention. The improved net income is largely non-operational (FX gains), so focus on operating cash flow trends in coming quarters.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Telecom Argentina reported consolidated 1H26 results with net income of P$869,038 million versus a net loss in 1H25, driven by foreign exchange gains and improved operating margins. However, core mobile subscribers (ex-TMA) declined 7.1% and the Argentine antitrust tribunal imposed a remedy requiring divestiture of 6 million mobile customers and 211,400 internet subscribers, creating regulatory overhang. The filing also notes a new CFO appointment and a small 5G spectrum win in Paraguay.
Key Facts
- Consolidated revenues reached P$5,075,511 million in 1H26, up 16.0% vs 1H25 (includes full 6 months of TMA vs 4 months in 1H25).
- Consolidated net income was P$869,038 million in 1H26 vs a net loss of P$100,900 million in 1H25.
- Operating Income before D, A & I margin improved to 35.8% (+5.8 p.p. vs 1H25).
- Consolidated Net Financial Debt decreased 14.7% in real terms vs December 31, 2025.
- Argentine Antitrust Tribunal conditioned the TMA acquisition on divestiture of 6,000,000 mobile customers and 211,400 internet subscribers.
- Telecom (excluding TMA) mobile accesses declined 7.1% to 19.4 million, while postpaid grew 1.3% vs 1Q26.
- New CFO Manuel Garcia Diez appointed effective August 3, 2026.
- Núcleo awarded 5G spectrum in Paraguay for US$1 million.
Financial Impact
Improved profitability with net income swing of ~P$970 billion vs prior-year loss, but core organic revenue growth ex-TMA was only 2.0%. Regulatory remedy may reduce future revenue and subscriber base.
Risk Factors
- Execution risk and financial impact of mandated divestiture of 6M mobile and 211K internet subscribers.
- Continued mobile subscriber losses in core Telecom Argentina (ex-TMA) business.
- Inflation and currency devaluation risks in Argentina affecting real revenue and cost growth.
- Potential dilution or operational disruption from the TMA integration and regulatory conditions.
