Grupo Televisa, S.A.B. (TV) - SWOT Analysis: Opportunities

Leverage the Izzi/Sky Merger to Offer Full-Service Bundles and Reduce Churn

The full integration of Izzi and Sky is defintely the biggest near-term opportunity to stabilize your core business. You've already seen the financial benefits, which is the whole point of such a massive consolidation: the merger contributed to a 100 basis point expansion in the consolidated operating segment income (OSI) margin to 38.2% in the first nine months of 2025. This margin expansion was driven by a 7% year-on-year reduction in operating expenses. That's real money.

The strategic move is to combine the strengths of Izzi's fiber network with Sky's satellite reach and content, creating a true 'quintuple-play' offering-video, broadband, voice, and mobile, plus streaming via ViX. This bundling strategy is your best defense against subscriber churn (the rate at which customers leave). The synergies have already compensated for the cost of acquiring the remaining stake in Sky from AT&T, with nearly US$400 million in savings realized by the end of 2024. Everything Sky generates now goes straight to your bottom line.

Expand Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) Network for Higher-Value Broadband

Your fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network is the backbone for future growth, especially as you pivot to a higher-value customer base. As of the end of Q3 2025, your network reached approximately 20 million homes passed, a massive footprint in Mexico. You added 27.7 thousand homes with FTTH during that quarter alone.

The focus isn't on volume, but on profitability. You're strategically targeting the high-end, more reliable clients, which is smart because the low-end market is nearly fully penetrated and highly price-competitive. Broadband subscribers totaled 5.6 million as of September 30, 2025, with 21.6 thousand net additions in Q3 2025. This steady growth in a high-margin product segment is crucial for offsetting the revenue decline you're seeing in the traditional Sky satellite video business.

Capitalize on the Growing Latin American Streaming Market

The shift from traditional pay-TV to Over-the-Top (OTT) streaming services is a headwind for Sky, but a massive opportunity for your streaming platform, ViX. The Latin America OTT Services Market is projected to reach a value of USD 11,673.8 million in 2025, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 17% projected through 2035. That's a huge, expanding pie you must capture.

ViX is already showing strong user engagement and momentum in both its free and premium tiers, which is a great sign. You have a distinct advantage over global competitors like Netflix and Amazon in localized content and live Spanish-language sports, which are key drivers in this region. The market is moving fast, so you need to keep investing in content and platform innovation to maintain that edge.

Here's a quick look at the market scale:

Grow Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) Service

Your relaunched Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) service is a quiet success story and a powerful tool for customer retention. It's making your bundles more competitive and letting you capture a greater share of the customer's wallet. In Q3 2025, you added 94.0 thousand net mobile subscribers, which is a significant acceleration.

This Q3 performance beat the 83.0 thousand net adds from Q2 2025 and effectively doubled the adds from Q1 2025. Your total mobile subscriber base now stands at 557.6 thousand as of September 30, 2025. You need to keep pushing this service; it's a low-cost, high-value add-on that significantly reduces the incentive for a customer to switch providers. It's an easy win for customer stickiness.

Grupo Televisa, S.A.B. (TV) - SWOT Analysis: Threats

The primary threat to Grupo Televisa, S.A.B. is the accelerating erosion of its traditional pay-TV and advertising revenue streams, driven by intense fiber-optic competition and the irreversible shift to mobile-first streaming. You are seeing a clear trade-off: the cost efficiencies from the Izzi and Sky integration are being outpaced by the revenue lost from customer churn.

Intense competition from rivals like Telmex, which added 231,000 subscribers in Q2 2025 while Sky lost over 346,000.

The competitive landscape in Mexico's telecommunications market is brutal, especially in fixed broadband, where Telmex (América Móvil) is aggressively expanding its fiber-to-the-home network. This is not a fair fight; fiber beats satellite and older cable infrastructure every single time on speed and reliability. The numbers from the second quarter of 2025 show this clearly: Telmex added 231,000 new fixed broadband accesses in Mexico. In the same quarter, Grupo Televisa's Sky unit reported 346,600 disconnections, highlighting a significant, simultaneous loss of customers to rivals who offer superior broadband connectivity.

This competitive pressure forces you into a defensive position, requiring heavy capital expenditure (CapEx) just to keep pace. Izzi's video segment also lost subscribers, with 53,000 cancellations in Q2 2025, which is a persistent drag on the cable business. Your competitors are winning the broadband race, and pay-TV is simply collateral damage.

Sustained loss of Sky customers, with 329.4 thousand disconnections in Q3 2025 alone.

The satellite pay-TV business, Sky, continues its structural decline, which is the single biggest threat to the segment's revenue. In the third quarter of 2025, Sky lost a net 329.4 thousand Revenue Generating Units (RGUs), a massive churn event largely attributed to prepaid customers not recharging their services. This is a clear sign of customer migration to cheaper or better-quality alternatives like fiber broadband bundles and over-the-top (OTT) streaming.

The loss of subscribers directly translated to an 18.2% year-on-year revenue decline for the Sky segment in Q3 2025. The total RGU base for Sky is now just over 4 million subscribers, down significantly. The integration with Izzi may cut costs, but it can't stop the bleeding from a fundamentally challenged technology platform.

Rapid shift in media consumption to mobile video, which accounts for over 75% of video views.

The shift to mobile-first consumption is an existential threat to traditional linear TV and fixed pay-TV models. By 2025, it is expected that more than 75% of all video content will be viewed on mobile devices, a trend that favors short-form, on-demand content from platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and ViX (TelevisaUnivision's own streaming service) over scheduled programming.

This trend impacts your core business in two ways:

• It devalues the linear TV content you produce and distribute.
• It accelerates the cord-cutting from your pay-TV services.

Even your own streaming platform, ViX, is seeing growth slow down, with subscription and advertising revenue growth at only 4% year-over-year in Q1 2025, down from 25% in the prior year's quarter. This indicates that even your digital pivot faces intense competition in a saturated market.

Adverse macroeconomic factors, including a potential U.S. economic slowdown impacting advertising revenue.

Your media business remains highly sensitive to macroeconomic headwinds, particularly in the U.S. and Mexican advertising markets. The Q1 2025 results for TelevisaUnivision showed a total revenue decline of 10% to $1.02 billion, directly reflecting a softer advertising market.

The slowdown is hitting both sides of the border hard, which is defintely a risk for your consolidated financials:

• U.S. advertising revenue declined by 13% in Q1 2025.
• The Mexican advertising market saw an even steeper fall of 18% in Q1 2025, due to general macroeconomic pressures.

Here's the quick math: when the U.S. economy sneezes, your ad business catches a cold, and the Mexican market amplifies the effect. This reliance on cyclical advertising spend, especially as linear viewership declines, creates a significant vulnerability that operational efficiencies alone cannot fix.
