Company Report

TIM Needs to Drive Pricing Gains to Earn Attractive Returns on Capital

TIM, 67%-owned by Telecom Italia, is the smallest of the three major wireless carriers in Brazil, claiming about 24% market share based on customers served. The removal of Oi from the market in 2022 has greatly improved the competitive environment. While we expect TIM will generate steady results in the coming years, we believe the firm’s modest fixed-line footprint leaves it at a disadvantage to both its larger competitors.

Price vs Fair Value

TIMB is trading at a 419% premium.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

TIM claims roughly 24% of the Brazilian wireless market, which should give it plenty of scale to generate strong cash flows.

Bears

TIM’s minimal fixed-line presence prevents it from offering bundled wireless and fixed-line services. Limited fixed-line infrastructure will also hurt the firm as it rolls out 5G wireless technology.
