Liberty Global: Final Look Before The Spin-Off, Sunrise's High Dividends Vs. RemainCo's High Potential
Liberty Global is spinning-off the Sunrise shares, that should unlock $10+ value per share. RemainCo is deeply undervalued but facing challenges of highly leveraged assets during the high-capex cycle focused on fiber and 5G to drive long-term returns. Once the Capex cycle is over, these assets have the potential to generate over $1 billion in annual FCF for Liberty Global, driving a huge upside in the share price.

Liberty Global: Here Is Why The Recent Rise In Share Price Is Just The Beginning
Liberty Global shares are clearly undervalued based on SOTP value by about 50%. Understanding John Malone's financial engineering is key to the investment thesis. Management is unlocking the value with the coming Sunrise spin-off and the ongoing buyback program. The risks of high leverage are well managed by shielding the holding from the debt of its subsidiaries, making Liberty Global essentially debt-free with 50% of Market Cap in cash.
