Indian Mobile Q4 FY24 review: Faster trends; Vodafone raises money fi...
India’s mobile sector quickened its topline pace to 10% YoY, led by better net additions and a sustained MSD ARPU trend. EBITDA margins continue to rise while capex is set to moderate for both Bharti and Jio. On the other hand, Vodafone has guided to spend between INR 500bn and 550bn on network expansion over the next three years after finally raising new equity.

African Telcos Deep dive on Fintech valuations; stay Bullish on AAF a...
We deep dive on African Telco’s Fintech valuations in this note which is a follow up of our higher-level note Show me the (Mobile) Money. African Telcos are becoming more active about unlocking value from Mobile Money (MoMo) with MTN’s recent deal with Mastercard and now rumours that AAF is looking to IPO its MoMo business. Global Fintech/Payments multiples have derated over the past couple of years, but we continue to see great value in the African Telco’s MoMo assets which remain one the key n...

Indian Mobile Q3 FY24 review: Still tracking well even without tariff...
India’s telecom industry continue to grow in the HSD, with Bharti and Jio improving at the expense of VIL. Industry ARPU tracked MSD again even without any meaningful tariff hikes; we expect increases to be put through in 2H CY24 though that has largely been priced in. EBITDA continue to trend ahead of topline, with YoY margins improvement across the board. Earlier last month, the government also approved the auction for 10,523 MHz of spectrum which starts from INR 963bn (USD 11.6bn). However, w...

5G FWA in EM Poor man’s paradise; income and propensity to spend sugg...
This is the 3rd in a series of notes looking at FWA (see HERE and HERE). Like us, the market appears to be getting more bullish on FWA in EM, and a series of events such as Jio’s launch suggest FWA could be a significant use case for 5G in Emerging Markets.

Vodacom (Neutral, TP: ZAR140, +35%) Q2 24: Top line in line, but disa...
Vodacom reported a mixed set of results, service revenue came in in line with consensus but EBITDA and HEPS missed. Revenue trends in SA slightly improved in Q2 vs. Q1 but trends in International slowed. EBITDA trends (on a normalised basis) slowed in H1 24 vs. H2 23 but EBITDA performance is expected to be better next semester.

Indian Mobile Q2 FY24 review: Core mobile still decent, with margin i...
India’s telecom industry continue to grow in the HSD, with Bharti outperforming on mobile service revenue growth on a YoY basis again. Whilst Jio posted better net additions, its ARPU trend was softer. Bharti’s Enterprise business did slow down however, largely a function of the deferred spending by global OTT players driven by current global macro.

South African Telcos CY23 1H review – Growth still resilient but marg...
The environment remained tough for the South African operators in the first half of 2023. Loadshedding was high and impacted revenue (especially voice) and increased opex. Market service revenue was sequentially stable (up 1.6% YoY in H1 23), but EBITDA growth and margins deteriorated as telcos turned to backup batteries and power generators, and additional security solutions.
