Matias Fagiano shared thisEuropean M&A is back in force. After a 30% global jump in dealmaking in 2025 and >$800B in Europe, 2026 will be a year of consolidation and sovereign scale across banking, asset & wealth management, telecoms, defense, logistics, pharma, chemicals and insurance. For Telecom leaders, defining a clear M&A blueprint, preparing big deal moves and making portfolio rebalancing a continuous discipline will convert momentum into durable shareholder value. If you’re shaping strategy or running transactions, now is the time to act. Read our full Oliver Wyman Capital Currents 2026 insight: https://owy.mn/49RRoWo

Matias Fagiano reposted thisMatias Fagiano reposted thisAs business leaders gather in Davos, many will be looking to judge the mood music and what this means for M&A. Last year, talk of animal spirits abounded only to be rapidly replaced by tariff turmoil, yet European M&A remained remarkably resilient and powered back to grow 8%. We see reason to believe strong momentum will continue into 2026. Corporate profitability remains robust, and the case for consolidate remains stronger than ever, in the light of geopolitical tension. The Oliver Wyman M&A team have shone a light on the top ten deal themes we expect to dominate in 2026. Let me know what you think... Full report to follow.

Matias Fagiano reposted thisMatias Fagiano reposted thisRAN Sharing TIM – Fastweb+Vodafone: una scelta di strategia, non solo di rete L’accordo di RAN Sharing tra TIM e Fastweb+Vodafone segna un passaggio chiave per il mercato TLC italiano. In uno scenario di forte pressione su investimenti e marginalità, la condivisione delle infrastrutture diventa una leva di efficienza industriale: meno duplicazioni, CAPEX/OPEX ottimizzati e 5G più veloce, soprattutto nelle aree a minor densità. 💡 Il vero valore? Competere sui servizi, sull’esperienza cliente e sull’innovazione, non sull’infrastruttura. Un modello che rafforza sostenibilità, copertura e competitività del sistema Paese. #5G #Telecomunicazioni #Strategia #RANSharing #DigitalTransformation https://lnkd.in/dsB_hezwFastweb+Vodafone e Tim, accordo per il 5G: arriva il ran sharingFastweb+Vodafone e Tim, accordo per il 5G: arriva il ran sharing

Matias Fagiano shared thisThe two largest Telcos in Italy are joining forces to develop rural mobile connectivity (https://lnkd.in/eXj97RHe) In our recent Capital Currents report (https://lnkd.in/eprCgzPZ) we argued that a big wave of Telco consolidation is underway in Europe. This is a great example of industry consolidation through Joint Ventures and Strategic Alliances rather than M&A. This goes in the direction of the three vectors that are reshaping the Telecom industry in the next decade: 1) Retail consolidation 2) Infrastructure rationalization and 3) Wholesale reconfiguration #TIM #FastwebVodafone #ItalyTIM and Vodafone to share 5G RAN to boost coverageTIM and Vodafone to share 5G RAN to boost coverage

Matias Fagiano reposted thisMatias Fagiano reposted this#2026 kicks off with great news for Italy’s #5G: Fastweb + Vodafone and TIM have just announced plans to share parts of their radio access networks (see first comment for details). That means: ▶️ Use existing assets more efficiently: less duplication and smaller environmental footprint ▶️ Faster rollout ▶️ Better coverage, speed and reliability where it’s most needed While keeping full commercial and tech independence. The model prioritizes areas currently underserved, enhancing 5G access capacity to support next-generation services. This is the kind of smart collaboration that makes #connectivity more #inclusive and more #sustainable. --- Il 2026 si apre con ottime notizie per il #5G in Italia: Fastweb + Vodafone e TIM hanno annunciato un piano per condividere parti delle loro reti di accesso radio (dettagli nel primo commento). Questo significa: ▶️Uso più intelligente degli asset esistenti — meno duplicazioni ed un ridotto impatto ambientale ▶️ Implementazione più rapida del 5G ▶️ Copertura, velocità e affidabilità migliori dove c'è più bisogno. Il tutto mantenendo la piena indipendenza commerciale e tecnologica di ciascuna azienda. Questo modello dà priorità alle aree meno servite, aumentando la capacità del 5G per supportare i servizi di nuova generazione. Questo è il tipo di collaborazione intelligente che rende la #connettività più #inclusiva e più #sostenibile. #InclusioneDigitale #Italia #RANSharing #DigitalInclusion #Italy #RANSharing Giuseppe Brigante Marco Narduzzi Max Gasparroni Massimo Pollini Walter Renna Elenia Cerchi Lisa Di Feliciantonio Pietro Labriola Isa Müller-Wegner Maria Rita Roscani Maria Luisa Cesaro Antonio Capone Andrea Rangone Marco Raimondi Gabriele Appolloni Antonello Digioia Marco Pennarola Cinzia Campanella Giovanni Germani Dr. Peter Grüter

Matias Fagiano reposted thisMatias Fagiano reposted this🗣️”Europa se prepara para la mayor oleada de consolidación del sector de telecomunicaciones” Europa entra en una nueva etapa clave para su soberanía digital: se prepara para la mayor ola de consolidación del sector telco en décadas. Esta urgencia se produce por la necesidad de lograr la escala suficiente para competir frente a los grandes actores internacionales; el exceso de fragmentación y la presión competitiva global hacen imprescindible un nuevo modelo que impulse la inversión, fortalezca las infraestructuras y permita a Europa recuperar liderazgo en conectividad. En este contexto, los movimientos recientes en España son un anticipo de la transformación que se avecina. Planes estratégicos como el de Telefónica muestran cómo el sector se reorganiza para ser más eficiente, más sólido y mejor preparado para afrontar los retos tecnológicos del futuro.

Matias Fagiano reposted thisMatias Fagiano reposted thisEurope’s telecoms are entering a new era of M&A. Over the next decade, four catalysts will reshape the sector and give rise to five deal archetypes: in market and cross border consolidation, portfolio rebalancing, growth engines, and infra carve outs. Our latest M&A Capital Currents report gives a clear, step-by-step roadmap for executives to align acquisitions and divestitures with strategy and market realities.

It’s yet another glaring example as to why freedom of speech is so important, and is telling of those governments which are so opposed to social media sites like X. I sincerely hope the UK government actually does a proper job of this. The victims deserve it. British society deserves it. https://lnkd.in/dQvRmeKc

Matias Fagiano liked thisMatias Fagiano liked this"Police time will no longer be wasted". At least they are admitting they've been wasting time and not focusing on real crimes, however freedom of speech remains under attack in the UK. "Investigating legal social media posts". It's insane that they ever did this, but they are just going to keep infringing on free speech by reclassifying social media posts under different laws. Inept governments turn social media into the boogeyman. They fear social media because it undermines their control. If you think your society can be taken down by sh1tposting, your society actually has bigger and realer fundamental issues that need to be addressed. https://lnkd.in/diU6GAdW

Matias Fagiano liked thisMatias Fagiano liked thisWhat is Ben Brazil’s Plan B for struggling London altnet, G.Network? The original plan for Brazil’s FitzWalter Capital (FWC), the distressed asset specialists, seemed clear - it bought up G.Newtork’s debt & equity in early January, sacked the board and tipped it into administration a week later. Administrators outlined the broadband company’s woes (net liabilities of £276m to March 2025) in the competitive altnet (alternative provider) market. They said they were looking for a quick sale for G.Network and FWC - who most likely paid a steep discount when buying £100m in secured debt - as the only secured creditor would reap a quick pay day. But despite nine interested parties there was no sale. Analysts said G.Network’s infrastructure - where fibre is laid under roads not the footpath - was a turn-off for some buyers. Not even its footprint of 420,000 premises in Central London (with 25,000 customers)was enough to get anyone excited. In a dramatic u-turn, Brazil’s company has now taken G.Network out of administration, brought in a new CEO, cleared its debts & vowed to become a “leading challenger in UK fibre”. What gives? Has FWC taken a bath on its original investment to buy the debt and hoping another buyer comes along? Or does it really believe an unprofitable business will now come profitable after an organisational rejig (including sacking 106 staff). Analysts are doubtful. Or maybe Brazil, the former Macquarie Group star, has a Plan C we don’t yet know about. My latest story in The Times business section. #altnets #fwc #gnetwork #telcos

Matias Fagiano liked thisMatias Fagiano liked thisThere’s something powerful about seeing it from a different angle: The scale. The brands. The customers. The conversations happening in every corner. At 100% Optical, one thing was clear: this industry isn’t standing still, it’s accelerating. Walking the floor, I didn’t just see beautiful frame displays and packed stands. I saw serious conversations about the rise of #smarteyewear and AI-powered glasses moving from concept to commercial reality. The category is expanding and I am proud to represent EssilorLuxottica in that environment, bringing to life this new ecosystem Optics is no longer just about correction or sun protection. It’s becoming: • A health platform • A tech interface • A fashion statement • A growth engine for independents It is clear: there conversation has shifted and #wearable #tech here to stay 🕶️👓 Nuance Audio Ray-Ban Meta Oakley Meta

Matias Fagiano liked thisMatias Fagiano liked this“I once asked my friend, the engineer Guru Madhavan, why engineering faculties at most universities were outliers in containing more than a small minority of conservatives and political moderates. He explained it in a single sentence: ‘In engineering, you are peer-reviewed by reality.’ In any field where you are judged more by the quality of the outcome than the quality of your argument, there is a limit to the extent to which you can adhere to some all-encompassing worldview.” https://lnkd.in/dTGMRvZF

Matias Fagiano liked thisMatias Fagiano liked thisHoy dejo Mercado Libre después de 6 años. Y me voy con algunos aprendizajes lindísimos. En estos días de cierre, entre cafés y charlas, traté de poner en palabras qué significó realmente esta etapa. Esto es lo que me llevo: 1. Es el momento de Latam Meli me demostró que los latinos podemos ser los mejores. Que hay que ejecutar en forma obsesiva y en detalle, pero que mantener nuestra identidad es un diferencial. Contraté a muchos latinos de otras empresas que me decían: “al fin una organización donde puedo ser yo mismo”. Mercado Libre empezó un despertar latino que no va a frenar. Es el momento de Latam. 2. La única manera es en equipo No hay lugar para genios insoportables. El camino individual va más rápido, pero se termina antes. Las derrotas pesan más, las victorias se festejan solo. El camino en equipo va más lento, pero se disfruta, muta, aprende, multiplica y garantiza continuidad. Todos amamos ganar, pero mis mejores momentos fueron empujando en el barro con el equipo. La única manera es en equipo. 3. Hay que animarse Mi primer día como Director en México fue también el primer día de Pedro Rivas como GM de Mercado Pago México. Me junté con él y le dije: “Hola, soy nuevo en el rol y no tengo muy claro qué es lo que tengo que hacer”. Me respondió: “Yo tampoco tengo tan claro qué tengo que hacer. Vamos a ir descubriéndolo juntos”. Esa conversación toma otra dimensión cuando entendés que hay varios puntos del PBI de México pasando por esas decisiones. Hay que animarse. 4. Hay que sembrar en forma compulsiva Ser emisores, adquirentes, procesadores, tienda física, riel, dar créditos. Y después, ser banco. Muchas apuestas salieron bien. Otras no. Tuvimos pagos QR en México con volúmenes muy bajos. Esa semilla no germinó. Pero no importó. Porque había muchas otras semillas creciendo al mismo tiempo. Hay que sembrar en forma compulsiva. Me voy feliz de haber sido protagonista en esta organización que empujó los límites en toda la región. Gracias a todos los que fueron parte del camino. Nos vamos a volver a cruzar.
