America Movil upgraded to Buy from Hold at HSBC

HSBC analyst Madhvendra Singh upgraded America Movil (AMX) to Buy from Hold with a price target of $17.50, up from $15.50. In a volatile macro environment, America Movil offers “operational resilience, diverse but stable” free cash flow, and potential for higher returns, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm sees consolidation and easing regulations as long-term tailwinds for the company. Meanwhile, short-term downside risks look largely priced into the shares, contends HSBC.
