What the Analysts think about Airtel Africa
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Airtel Africa stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
MTN and Airtel Africa’s deal to share mobile network infrastructure in Uganda and Nigeria is expected to cut capital spending and speed up network rollout, boosting Airtel Africa’s capital efficiency.
Airtel Africa’s plan to list its Airtel Money business in the first half of 2026 could unlock substantial value for shareholders by monetizing its rapidly expanding digital payments unit.
In FY25, Airtel Africa posted 21.1% constant-currency revenue growth, an 8.7% increase in total customers to 166.1 million, and a 17.3% rise in mobile money subscribers to 44.6 million, with transaction value reaching $145 billion.
Reported revenues for FY25 fell by 0.5% in reported currency owing to sharp declines in the Nigerian naira and other currencies, highlighting ongoing currency pressures.
Lease-adjusted leverage rose to 1.0x (with total leverage at 2.3x) after a $1.3 billion increase in lease liabilities from tower contract renewals, raising fixed financial obligations.
Airtel Africa's capex outlook for FY26 is $725 million–$750 million, which remains high relative to FY25 operating free cash flow of $1.63 billion and could limit flexibility for discretionary cash returns.
