Quality Analysis
AMERICA MOVIL SAB DE CV's quality score of 86/100 places it among the top profitability performers in the market. The quality factor evaluates margins, return on equity, return on assets, and earnings consistency — the fundamental building blocks of a durable business.
Return on equity of 5.8% trails the sector median of 12.0%. Gross margins of 61.1% reflect strong pricing power and competitive moats. Operating margins of 20.7% sit above the 15.0% sector average.
Net margins of 3.2% are positive but thin, leaving limited margin for error.
Valuation Assessment
A value score of 81/100 puts AMX in the top 19 percent of all stocks on cheapness — suggesting the market is significantly underpricing the company's fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 33.8x, an EV/EBITDA of 6.2x, a price-to-book of 2.5x, a price-to-sales of 1.1x. Deep value scores like this historically correlate with above-average forward returns, though they can also reflect legitimate concerns about business quality that the value factor does not capture.
Momentum & Timing
A momentum score of 69/100 shows AMX is trending above average, with its stock price outperforming the majority of the market. This is not explosive, meme-stock-style momentum — it is the gradual, fundamental-driven kind that tends to persist.
Revenue growth of -13.7% is declining, which makes the momentum signal more precarious. A beta of 0.82 means AMERICA MOVIL SAB DE CV moves roughly in line with the broader market.
Our entry timing model currently signals Neutral, which warrants caution despite the price trend.
Risk Factors
No investment comes without risks, and honest analysis requires flagging them clearly:
- Leverage risk. A debt-to-equity ratio of 1.72 indicates significant leverage. In a rising rate environment or economic downturn, high debt loads can amplify losses and strain cash flow. Investors should monitor the company's ability to service its obligations.
- Model limitations. Quantitative models measure what is measurable — financial ratios, price trends, leverage — but cannot capture qualitative factors like management quality, competitive positioning, or pending litigation. This analysis should be supplemented with fundamental due diligence.
- Market regime risk. Factor-based strategies perform differently across market regimes. The current factor exposures that support AMERICA MOVIL SAB DE CV's rating may become headwinds if the macro environment shifts — for example, if interest rates move sharply or if sector rotation accelerates.
Bottom Line
AMERICA MOVIL SAB DE CV earns a Buy rating with a composite score of 73/100 and 4 out of 5 stars, ranking #36 among 7,333 stocks. The factor profile is constructive — not without blemishes, but with enough quantitative support to position AMX above the majority of the market.
