Liberty Latin America Ltd. represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns Liberty Latin America Ltd. a Hold rating, with a composite score of 52.4/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #1631 of 7,333 stocks, LILA presents a mixed quantitative picture — neither compelling enough to initiate new positions nor weak enough to warrant selling. Investors already holding may consider maintaining their position while monitoring for changes in the factor profile.
With a quality score of 56/100, LILA shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of -89.8% (sector avg: 11.9%), gross margins of 78.4% (sector avg: 52.6%), net margins of -22.0% (sector avg: 7.7%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.
LILA's value score of 61/100 indicates the stock is fairly valued based on its current fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 26.08x, an EV/EBITDA of 22.81x, a P/B ratio of 1.51x. At this level, neither a clear bargain nor overpriced, the stock's attractiveness depends more on forward growth expectations and qualitative factors.
Liberty Latin America Ltd.'s investment score of 30/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of -0.5% vs. a sector average of 4.2% and a return on assets of -7.8% (sector: 3.2%). While this can be positive for mature, cash-generative businesses returning capital to shareholders, it may also signal a lack of growth opportunities or management conservatism.
LILA is currently showing below-average momentum at 35/100, which may indicate weakening institutional interest or negative sentiment shifts. Revenue growth stands at -0.5% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.72 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Investors should note that declining momentum can precede further price weakness, though contrarian opportunities sometimes emerge at these levels.
LILA's stability score of 44/100 signals elevated volatility and/or leverage concerns. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.72 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 778.00x (sector avg: 1.3x). Investors should be prepared for wider-than-average price swings and consider position sizing accordingly to manage portfolio risk.
LILA carries a short interest score of 70/100, indicating moderate short selling activity. This is a neutral reading — not enough to signal systemic bearishness, but worth monitoring. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 778.00x), small-cap liquidity risk. At $1.7B market cap (small-cap), Liberty Latin America Ltd. offers reasonable institutional liquidity.
Liberty Latin America Ltd. is a small-cap company in the Transportation, Communications, Electric, Gas, And Sanitary Services sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #1631 of 7,333 overall (78th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -89.8% trailing the 11.9% sector median and operating margins of -9.2% below the 14.8% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Transportation, Communications, Electric, Gas, And Sanitary Services peers.
While LILA currently exhibits a HOLD profile, superior opportunities exist within the TRANSPORTATION, COMMUNICATIONS, ELECTRIC, GAS, AND SANITARY SERVICES sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
