IHS Towers
One of the largest independent telecom tower operators in emerging markets, with extensive Nigerian and broader African infrastructure, reporting Q1 2026 revenue up 6% to $415.4 million and cash flow up 15.8% even as it cut infrastructure investment 5.3% amid energy-price, inflation, and foreign-exchange pressure. IHS announced plans in February 2026 to sell its Latin American business and is awaiting approval of a pending $2.2 billion acquisition by MTN Group, a deal expected to close later in 2026 and potentially reshape Africa's telecom tower ownership landscape.
