Singapore Telecommunications (ST SP) - 1H25: Net Profit In Line; Focus...
1H25 net profit of S$403m (+19.7% yoy) was in line with our expectations, at 49.5% of our full-year forecast. DPS operating profit outperformed our expectations, driven by better-than-expected margins, while USS missed, as Satcom continues to face near-term challenges. We expect STE to remain on an upbeat growth track, backed by a recordhigh level orderbook. While valuation does not appear cheap, we do not foresee any derating catalysts. Maintain HOLD. Target price: S$8.56 (rolled over).

Singapore Telecommunications (ST SP) - 1QFY26: Results In Line; On Tra...
Singtel’s 1QFY26 underlying net profit grew by 14% yoy, driven by EBIT improvement from Optus and NCS and stronger Airtel and AIS contribution. Optus and NCS EBITDA rose 9% yoy and 15% yoy on a constant currency basis. Management is on track to achieve double-digit ROIC and deliver its Singtel28 growth plan. Digital Infraco is expected to deliver stronger earnings with the eventual completion of data centre in Thailand and Singapore. Maintain BUY with an SOTP-based target price of S$4.58.

True Corporation (TRUE TB) - 2Q25: Results In Line With Our Estimates ...
TRUE reported a net profit of Bt2.0b for 2Q25, in line with our forecasts but below consensus by 11%. The stronger net profit was supported by: a) a higher gross profit margin, b) lower-than-expected SG&A-to-sales, c) lower interest expense, d) lesser cost of asset impairment, and e) tax gains. ARPU figures of the mobile and FBB businesses were also impressive. We still like TRUE and expect its improved earnings outlook to continue into 2H25. Maintain BUY with a target price of Bt15.70.

Our top picks performed very strongly again in July, marked by a strong recovery from VEON, Millicom and IHS Towers alongside continued momentum at Singtel and Airtel Africa. Heading into earnings season, we continue to see the EM Telco cycle in an upswing. This note also includes key news & other thoughts, to try to help investors generate alpha within the EM Telco space. In our view, our picks remain undervalued, so we make no changes to the list.

In line with Singtel’s ST28 growth plan, the group continues to improve its ROIC through better core operational performance while doubling down on its future growth drivers, NCS and Nxera. Additionally, the asset monetisation pipeline has been raised from S$6b to S$9b, offering sustainable 3-6 cents/share VRD over FY26-28. We believe this is a conservative estimate, with additional asset monetisation from regional associates and non-core assets. Maintain BUY. Target price of S$4.58.

Our picks largely had a slightly slower month in June, with VEON seeing sharp profit taking, but a recovery in some of the weaker stocks such as LILAK offset to continue to see overall valuations rise. We continue to see the EM Telco cycle in an upswing. This note also includes key news & other thoughts, to try to help investors generate alpha within the EM Telco space. In our view, our picks remain heavily undervalued, so we make no changes to the list.

Thai Telcos Auction concludes, no major surprises
Thailand concluded its spectrum auction on Sunday and raised THB 41.3bn (US$ 1.26bn). Overall process was benign and results were as expected – AIS retained its 2100MHz share whilst TRUE won the 2300MHz and 1500MHz band; only the 850MHz was left unsold. Our brief thoughts below.

Thai Telcos Q1 25 review: Steady Q1, incoming auction risk likely mod...
Thai telcos had a good run in 2024 and the momentum carried into Q1 2025 with steady service revenue and margin growth. However, weaker inbound tourism figures and the tariff overhang have raised concerns, contributing to the downward revision in GDP forecasts (1.8% to 1.1% in 2025).
