AT&T said the sale fits its plan to prioritise its US fibre and wireless networks, and that it will report the Mexico business as held for sale from its third quarter filing. Televisa brings a large Mexican fixed line broadband operation and Fintech Holdings brings capital and wireless operating experience, a combination AT&T said is well placed to run the business through its next phase. The company said US customers who roam or do business in Mexico should see no change to their service before or after closing.
AT&T sells Mexico unit to Televisa group for $2 billion
AT&T has agreed to sell AT&T Mexico to Grupo Televisa and Fintech Holdings for $2 billion in cash, plus additional contractual and contingent benefits, in a deal expected to close in the first quarter of 2027.
Why it matters: The exit ends AT&T's decade in Mexican wireless and concentrates its capital on US fibre and mobile networks, while handing one of Mexico's leading carriers to a local group pairing Televisa's fixed line business with fresh wireless capital.
