Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Liberty spun off its Swiss business Sunrise in 2023. If the firm keeps simplifying its corporate structure it could reduce its conglomerate discount and reach a more attractive valuation.

Bears

Liberty's debt leverage ratios are above European peer averages, with a non-investment-grade credit rating (B or BB). A worsening of competitive market dynamics in any geography could be problematic.
