América Móvil Turns Market Momentum into Hard Cash, Shows Regional Resilience
América Móvil, according to its official second-quarter 2025 report, posted a net profit of 22.28 billion pesos ($1.20 billion).
The company lost 1.09 billion pesos in the same period last year, so this profit marks a significant reversal. Total revenue rose 14% to 233.79 billion pesos ($12.54 billion), supported by currency changes and strong sales across several countries.
Company filings confirm América Móvil benefited from foreign exchange gains, logging 11 billion pesos ($590 million) from favorable currency movements.
This dynamic slashed financing costs by 81%. The Mexican peso weakened against many regional currencies, making every peso earned outside Mexico more valuable when brought home.
This foreign exchange effect provided about half of the reported net profit and showed how financial realities outside normal operations can shift results.
América Móvil’s core business also saw solid growth. Its mobile segment added 2.9 million new postpaid customers during the quarter, with Brazil accounting for 1.4 million.
Prepaid subscriber numbers dropped by 1.1 million, reflecting a shift as consumers in major Latin American markets switched to contract-based plans. Fixed-line broadband services grew with 462,000 new connections, half of them in Mexico.
Profitability improved alongside these trends. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) totaled 92.41 billion pesos ($4.96 billion), up 11%.
Service revenue gained 13% overall and 7.3% at constant exchange rates, as reported by the company’s official results. América Móvil closed the quarter with 325.7 million mobile and 78.5 million fixed-line subscribers.
Wider regional factors also gave the business an edge. Market analysts say U.S. tariff debates have affected currency volatility in Latin America, benefiting América Móvil.
Since the company operates in over 15 countries, collecting most of its revenues and paying most of its costs in local currencies, swings in currency exchange rates affect results far more than in less diversified companies.
Despite years of heavy competition in the regional telecom market, América Móvil’s results show that responding to market risks and changing local demand can deliver returns.
Its move to grow contract-based mobile subscriptions and invest in new networks shows a direct answer to how people connect and do business.
The company’s report shows how disciplined currency management and local adaptation drive success for large multinational telecoms. Every figure and statement here is supported by América Móvil’s official financial disclosures and leading market data.
