TIGO
Millicom International Cellular S.A.
TIGO is trading near its 52-week high after multi-month gains, with price action supported by bullish momentum signals and breakouts across several technical frameworks. At the same time, overbought readings on momentum indicators and elevated short-term volatility introduce the risk of pullbacks from current levels. The balance sheet shows meaningful leverage and a current ratio below 1 but also a solid equity base relative to total assets, while news and sentiment around Colombian asset acquisitions are broadly constructive.
