Grupo Televisa is now primarily a telecommunications business, with most revenue coming from Mexico. Its largest business sells households and small businesses internet, television and telephone packages under the izzi brand, collecting monthly service and equipment rental fees. Sky supplies satellite pay television and is the next-largest revenue source. A smaller business, Bestel, charges carriers and business customers for data connectivity and managed telecommunications services over fiber networks.
The company transferred its former content business to TelevisaUnivision and retains a substantial stake without controlling that company. TelevisaUnivision’s performance therefore matters to the value of this investment. It is also a key programming supplier: Grupo Televisa’s television platforms depend on content contracts with a company whose content assets it no longer controls.
Operating the networks requires Mexican government concessions and compliance with renewal conditions. Broadcasting rules also require access to certain infrastructure for other broadcasters and limit exclusive rights to specified major events unless sublicensing rights are available to other Mexican broadcasters.
The risk section is the longest, dullest part of the filing. This keeps only what can really hurt you: where it hits, how hard, when it plays out.
Every company claims an edge. Each one is checked against hard numbers like margins and returns: which hold, and which line gives way first.
Grupo Televisa’s results hinge on Mexican broadband rivalry with Totalplay, Megacable and Telmex, keeping satellite subscribers, and its substantial stake in privately held TelevisaUnivision, which this list cannot show.
Netflix competes for monthly subscription spending with Grupo Televisa’s cable television and Sky satellite packages in Mexico, making its streaming appeal a threat to television subscriber retention. Watch Netflix’s series, films and live programming as competing reasons for viewers to pay for video.
AT&T sells mobile service to Mexican consumers that Grupo Televisa’s growing izzi mobile business also seeks to win. AT&T’s Latin America wireless results are the relevant part to watch for this competition, rather than its U.S. phone and broadband businesses.
The Walt Disney Company’s Disney+ competes with Grupo Televisa’s cable television and Sky satellite packages for Mexican households’ paid video subscriptions. Disney’s streaming subscription business, which earns fees from viewers alongside advertising revenue, is the part most relevant to that rivalry.

Netflix’s Latin America results and programming offer a read on streaming’s pull with paying viewers, a rival to Televisa’s cable and Sky packages.
Read Netflix’s Latin America streaming revenue alongside its comments on the appeal of its series, films and live programming. Revenue growth alone does not prove it added viewers; prices or currency can also affect it. If Netflix attributes growth to stronger audience demand, paid streaming is a more compelling alternative to TV packages, making it harder for Televisa’s cable and Sky services to retain customers. If revenue weakens or programming draws less interest, that is a weaker regional competitive signal—not proof of better retention at Televisa, since Netflix’s regional results are not Mexico-specific.
AT&T Inc. earningsT
AT&T’s Latin America wireless results offer a regional read on the competition for Mexican mobile customers that Televisa’s izzi service is trying to win.
Compare AT&T’s Latin America wireless customer changes with service revenue. If both grow, carriers are adding users and bringing in more service revenue across the region—a stronger competition signal for Televisa’s izzi mobile service. If customers or revenue weaken, the regional signal is less intense, but that alone does not establish what is happening in Mexico or at izzi: AT&T’s results cover Latin America.
Grupo Televisa S.A. earningsThis company
Televisa’s report will show whether broadband and mobile services bring in enough to offset customers leaving its cable and satellite TV businesses.
Compare additions in residential broadband and mobile with video customer losses; then check Satellite customers and revenue against Telecom segment operating income. If broadband and mobile grow, video losses ease, Satellite stabilizes and operating income keeps pace, newer services are filling the gap left by departing TV customers. If video and Satellite keep shrinking and operating income does not keep up, the offset is not yet enough.
