Bloomberg has reported that China Mobile is mulling the acquisition of HKBN (HK: 1310) from TPG and MBK Partners for at least HK$5 per share. This implies an equity valuation of at least HK$6.56bn (US$ 853m) and represents 16% upside from today's share price. Our brief thoughts below.
Service revenue trend kept steady relative to Q2, albeit being slower than before due to macro headwinds. Yet earnings momentum continued to trend in the mid-single digits overall as we saw good cost control by China Telecom again (acceleration in EBITDA) while peers were cushioned by lower D&A costs (back by easing capex).
China Telecom was the clear outperformer for service revenue growth this quarter and for the full year too, driven by an acceleration in Enterprise. Industry EBITDA trend was less upbeat in Q4 as China Mobile and Unicom declined. Both capex and dividend guidance were bullish; industry capex expected to lower by 5% while payout is expected to trend above 75% over the next three years (by 2026) for China Mobile and China Telecom.

China Mobile’s first-quarter summary result was in line with our expectations, with service revenue down 0.5%, earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization up 4.3%, and net profit down 8.1%. China Mobile implemented a new accounting standard relating to leases, which decreases operating expenses and increases depreciation and amortization, so the EBITDA increase was partly driven by this accounting change. We therefore see the net profit decline as more indicative of the under...

Add exposure to Technology, Communications We view weakness over the past week as correcting a significant amount of the excess optimism that was baked-in to global equities. As a result, we recommend taking advantage of the pullback by adding exposure to our favorite areas - namely Technology. Our overall outlook on global equities (both the MSCI ACWI and ACWI ex-US) remains positive and we continue to expect higher equity prices going forward. • Index overviews: MSCI ACWI ex-US, MSCI EM, ...
China Mobile’s 2018 result was below our expectation with underlying service revenue down 3.7%. While the company reported EBITDA up 1.9% and net profit up 3.1%, we note that operating cash flow was down around 16%, the second year in a row that operating cash flow has declined despite reported earnings growth. We retain our narrow moat rating on the stock but reduce our fair value estimate to HKD 97 (USD 61) from HKD 105 per share (USD 66 per ADR) on reduced earnings forecasts despite a sligh...
