Overview
- América Móvil said it signed an agreement on July 21, 2026 for its unit América Móvil Perú to acquire 100% of WOW from Liberty Latin America and Narvik Capital Partners.
- The transaction remains conditional on customary closing steps, with approval from Peru’s competition regulator Indecopi the key near‑term hurdle.
- WOW operates a fast‑grown fiber‑to‑the‑home network across all 24 regions of Peru and reports roughly 500,000 customers, with most expansion concentrated outside Lima.
- Regulator data cited in the press show the deal would lift Claro’s national fixed‑internet share from about 26.7% to roughly 38.9%, which would make Claro the market leader if the sale is cleared.
- The purchase price was not disclosed and the deal fits América Móvil’s recent strategy of building regional fiber scale through acquisitions, a move that could speed high‑speed broadband rollout in Peru’s provinces and raise competition scrutiny.
