# Telecom Argentina Gets Conditional Antitrust Approval for Telefónica Móviles Deal

The latest announcement is out from Telecom Argentina ( (TEO) ).

On June 18, 2026, Telecom Argentina reported that Argentina’s Antitrust Tribunal has conditionally approved its planned acquisition of exclusive control over Telefónica Móviles Argentina and its subsidiaries. The decision follows a proceeding initiated in 2025 and updates a material event first disclosed on April 30, 2026, underscoring regulatory scrutiny of consolidation in the telecom sector.

As a condition of approval, Telecom must transfer at least 6 million mobile customers and associated spectrum to a buyer, including 4 million in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area and 2 million in the rest of the country. The company is also required to divest 211,400 residential internet subscribers in 28 localities and comply with additional behavioral remedies in corporate and wholesale services, measures aimed at preserving competition and potentially affecting its future scale and market positioning.

The most recent analyst rating on (TEO) stock is a Buy

**Spark’s Take on TEO Stock**

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TEO is a Outperform.

The score is driven primarily by very strong valuation (low P/E and very high dividend yield), supported by positive technical momentum (price above key moving averages and positive MACD). This is moderated by financial performance that is improving but still somewhat volatile, with modest ROE, moderate leverage, and uneven cash conversion.
