Liberty Latin America (NasdaqGS:LILA): Reassessing Valuation After a 27% One-Year Rally

That climb has not been in a straight line though, with the share price down over the past week but still posting an 11.7% 3 month share price return and a solid 1 year total shareholder return, suggesting momentum is gradually building as investors reassess the risk reward trade off.
