FW: AmBank Research - Telecommunication: Pressure cooker for mobile and fixed broadband NEUTRAL, 28 Jun 2018

 

 

SECTOR FOCUS OF THE DAY

Telecommunication: Pressure cooker for mobile and fixed broadband   NEUTRAL

 

In our view, near- to medium-term revenue growth outlook remains weak given the likelihood of further intensification in the mobile wars, with Digi and Celcom likely to raise the ante against both U Mobile’s plan and unifi Mobile’s unlimited mobile data/voice/SMS pricing plans. As U Mobile and unifi Mobile wrestle for new customers on the unlimited mobile data arena, prospects will deteriorate for incremental service revenue accretions in the sector.

 

Maintain NEUTRAL call given the continued intense competition in both the mobile and fixed broadband markets. Our top BUYs remain Axiata and TM due to the game-changing merger possibility which will significantly enhance their earnings and market share trajectory while Maxis and Digi are HOLDs due to the resistance in gaining traction in revenue growth amid potential loss in competitive advantage under a re-energised Axiata-TM brand.
