AT&T to sell Mexico unit to Grupo Televisa and Fintech Holdings for $2bn. An exit from the market has been on the table for a while October 14, 2026 US telecoms giant AT&T has struck an agreement to sell its Mexican mobile unit to Grupo Televisa and Fintech Holdings for $2 billion. The carrier confirmed the deal this week, noting that the sale will enable the company to focus on its 5G and fiber network in the US. A sale of the unit has been on the cards for some time, with reports last December swirling that Grupo Televisa was nearing a deal to acquire AT&T's Mexican unit. For Televisa, the deal would significantly grow its operations in Mexico, growing its share of total fixed and wireless subscribers in Mexico to 19 percent from eight percent. As part of the agreement, Televisa and Fintech Holdings, which owns a 22.3 percent stake in Televisa, will each take a 50 percent stake in the purchasing consortium. "We have articulated a strong belief that the AI future will run on converged networks with dense fiber assets," said John Stankey, chairman and CEO, AT&T. "This move positions AT&T Mexico to participate in that evolution and is consistent with our long-term strategy to focus our capital allocation on opportunities for growth in the vibrant US market." The carrier said it expects to close the sale in the first quarter of 2027, which is subject to customary closing conditions, including any necessary regulatory approvals in Mexico. AT&T entered the market back in 2014 after acquiring Grupo Iusacell SA for $2.5bn, before snapping up the Mexican business of NII Holdings a year later for $1.9bn. Ironically, Televisa acquired a 50 percent stake in mobile operator Iusacell in 2012, before it was bought out by its co-owner Grupo Salinas, which then sold the entire unit to AT&T. Despite AT&T's decade-long pursuit of the Mexican market, the carrier's market share in the country is around 18 percent, which is significantly behind Telcel, which commands around 64 percent. AT&T currently has more than 24.7 million wireless subscribers in Mexico. More in carrier networks.
