Swisscom AG

“Swisscom is a high-quality Swiss telecom incumbent with durable infrastructure moat, government backing, and best-in-class EBITDA margins, but it is priced fairly at 22-27x earnings with no margin of safety, a leveraged balance sheet following the ~EUR 8 billion Vodafone Italy acquisition, a politically mandated dividend that prevents balance sheet repair, and minimal organic growth runway — making it a 5-6% annualized total return vehicle at best, with Italian execution risk the key swing factor for permanent capital impairment.”
