JPMorgan raises Millicom price target to $63 on strong results and acquisitions

Investing.com - JPMorgan has raised its price target on Millicom International Cellular SA (NASDAQ:TIGO) stock to $63.00 from $55.00 while maintaining an Overweight rating. This new target aligns closely with InvestingPro’s Fair Value assessment, which suggests TIGO is currently undervalued despite trading near its 52-week high of $51.80.

The price target increase follows Millicom’s third-quarter 2025 results and incorporates stronger trends in several markets as well as the company’s acquisitions of Telefonica Uruguay and Ecuador. TIGO reported a diluted EPS of $6.48 for the last twelve months, with a healthy gross profit margin of 76.96%.

Millicom stock has rallied 115% over the past year, outperforming the MSCI LatAm index which gained 36% during the same period. The telecom company has also outpaced other major Latin American telecommunications companies, including Tim (+66%), AMX (+59%), and Vivo (+46%). InvestingPro data shows TIGO’s impressive YTD return of 129.09% and a substantial 48.47% gain over the last six months.

Despite the significant rally, JPMorgan believes Millicom still offers further upside potential. The firm notes that Millicom provides a 10.4% free cash flow yield for 2026, ahead of major Latin American telecom companies which range from 7.1% to 8.6%. This aligns with InvestingPro data showing TIGO’s current free cash flow yield of 13% and a P/E ratio of just 7.82.

JPMorgan’s new price target represents 25% potential upside for Millicom shares, or 38% when including dividends. TIGO currently offers a substantial 5.96% dividend yield with a $3.00 dividend per share, making it an attractive option for income-focused investors. The company’s overall financial health score is rated as "GREAT" by InvestingPro, which offers comprehensive research reports on TIGO and 1,400+ other US equities.
