Liberty Latin America stock was last at USD 8.86 on NASDAQ on October 6, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, up 1.03 percent from USD 8.77. The latest company filing shows that director Brendan J. Paddick received 2,457 Class C shares at USD 8.22 each on September 30, 2026, under the 2026 Incentive Plan, according to StockTitan.
Director receives Class C shares
The award covered 2,457 Class C shares and followed a separate grant of 1,229 Class A shares at USD 8.28 each. After the transaction, Paddick held 1,989,192 Class C shares directly, while the filing stated that the awards represented the equity portion of his director fees.
The filing date was October 2, 2026, giving the transaction a fresh regulatory reference as the stock moved higher in the October 6 session. The award is compensation under a company plan, rather than an open-market purchase, so its signal differs from a cash investment by an insider.
Q2 revenue reached USD 1.103 billion
Liberty Latin America's latest reported quarter delivered USD 1.103 billion of revenue in Q2 2026, up 1 percent year over year. Adjusted OIBDA increased 5 percent to USD 436.0 million, producing a 39.5 percent margin, according to StockTitan.
Operating income reached USD 181.2 million in the quarter versus a USD 333.0 million loss in Q2 2025. Adjusted free cash flow improved to USD 57.9 million from negative USD 41.3 million, while operating cash flow reached USD 216.8 million.
Debt remains a central counter-factor
The same Q2 disclosure reported USD 8.5344 billion of total debt and finance lease obligations against USD 746.9 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at June 30, 2026. That balance sheet remains important because the company's communications business spans more than 20 countries across Latin America and the Caribbean, according to Liberty Latin America.
