After the disappointment of a failed merger in the UK, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/132" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:132:1">CK Hutchison</a> and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/14026" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:14026:1">VimpelCom</a>'s Wind subsidiary have been desperate to get a deal approved to merge in Italy. Arguably, there is even stronger motivation than in the UK as both face greater challenges as independent companies in Italy.  Hutchison is currently OpFCF negative in Italy and Wind has a heavy debt burden.  In the past week, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/21486" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:21486:1">Iliad</a> has signed an agreement with CK Hutchison and VimpelCom to enter the Italian market as a prospective MNO…

Equity Bottom-Up

Five days after the surprise Brexit vote, much remains to be clarified in terms of future direction. If anything, the various political moves in the UK and the EU in recent days suggest we face a period of real uncertainty ahead. That said, as the fallout continues it is worth looking for investment opportunities.  We continue to review the market for dislocations in the telecoms sector as we believe a lot of the near-term movements have been predominantly driven by fund flow/ liquidity and…

Thematic (Sector/Industry)

Fears of the impact of Britain's exit from the European Union have pushed down the prices of most European communication stocks. We think this is an overreaction as we view telecom as a sector somewhat immune to geopolitical changes. In our view, Brexit will have no effect on cross-border transfers of voice or data as mobile termination rates for voice have already been reduced to negligible levels and for data have been cut in half and will be down to local roaming rates by the end of 2017.Within the U.K., we think BT will likely be the most affected as the majority of its revenue is from the U.K. Its only non-U.K. revenue is from its global services division. However, we think what losses do accrue will be offset by stronger revenue from the global services division as revenue from other currencies is translated into a weaker pound.Analysts: Allan C.
