Liberty Global Ltd. (NASDAQ:LBTYA)
Liberty Global snapped a 10-day losing streak on Wednesday, jumping 7.6 percent to close at $9.77 apiece as investors resorted to bargain-hunting to take advantage of its cheap valuation.
Additionally, sentiment was buoyed by a statement from Liberty Global Ltd.’s (NASDAQ:LBTYA) partner, Telefonica, saying that it was satisfied with its joint venture with the former in operating Britain’s Virgin Media O2, and does not seek to take control of the latter.
“We’re very happy with the current situation. The joint venture is working very well, we don’t have any deal on the table,” Telefonica CEO Emilio Gayo was quoted as saying in a report by Reuters.
This came after news from Bloomberg that Telefonica was evaluating a potential purchase of part of Liberty Global Ltd.’s (NASDAQ:LBTYA) 50-percent stake in the former.
“We are working closely to find the best option to develop fibre in the UK and create value for VMO2,” he added.
