Helios Towers: Strong Execution Overshadowed By Higher Capex

Helios Towers delivered strong FY25 results, surpassing guidance with 8% sales and 12% adjusted EBITDA growth, but shares fell on a higher 2026 CAPEX outlook. Capex is expected at $160–190m compared to $180m last year, weighing on near-term FCF but supporting future network expansion. Helios Towers' deleveraging, improved credit ratings, and successful bond tendering reduced net leverage to 3.4x and eliminated dilution risk.
