Liberty Global: A Hidden Sum-Of-The-Parts Opportunity With A 2027 Catalyst

Liberty Global trades at a significant discount to its sum-of-the-parts valuation, with the current share price largely covered by holding company cash and the discounted Liberty Growth investment portfolio alone. The planned 2027 spin-off and Amsterdam listing of Ziggo Group represents the key value-unlocking catalyst. Despite competitive and leverage-related risks across EU telecom markets, the company offers an asymmetric risk-reward profile. Therefore, we are buyers.
