Nigerian Telcos Q1 24 review: Strong underlying top line, weak profit...

Nigerian Telcos continue to perform well from a top line perspective. Market service revenue growth accelerated (again) in Q1 with both MTN Nigeria and Airtel Africa growing underlying service revenue by ~33% YoY. As expected, EBITDA and profit metrics were weaker (especially for MTN) because of the Naira devaluation in Q1

Yesterday, Singtel announced two data centre related news: 1) S$1.75bn investments in ST Telemedia GDC by the Singtel KKR consortium and 2) a 49-51 JV with Telekom Malaysia to develop a 200MW data centre in Johor, Malaysia. Our thoughts below.

Regional Telecommunications - The Singapore-Malaysia Connection

Singtel’s Nxera and TM announced that they will jointly develop a 64MW DC in Johor, operational in 2026. The DC can be scaled up to 200MW, worth RM10b (S$2.9b) in equity value. The above newsflow is positive. We raise TM’s and Singtel’s fair value by RM0.43/share (6%) and S$0.09/share (2%) to incorporate a 64MW DC asset in Johor. Maintain HOLD on TM as the good news is partly priced in. Maintain BUY on Singtel. Blue-sky fair value is RM7.80 (TM) and S$3.16 (Singtel).

Bharti Airtel, Airtel Africa & Singtel At $100bn, downgrade Bharti Ai...

Bharti crossing $100bn market cap makes us address the question of which parts of the Bharti/Singtel/Airtel Africa capital structure are most attractive. Bharti has the momentum, but the valuation gap is now extreme. Reversion to the mean will likely happen at some point which means sensible investors in Bharti should now be switching into Singtel (for yield) or Airtel Africa (for growth).

Singtel (Buy, TP: S$ 4.4, +74%) Feedback from NDR

We hosted an NDR with Singtel Group CEO, Moon, the acting CEO and the CFO of Optus, Michael Venter and the Head of IR, Adrian Seah, in London and Europe this week. The backdrop to meetings was positive given the bullish guidance issued by the company at their full year results, and the tone of the meetings was pretty positive too.

EM Telcos EM Enterprise Revenues Continue to Grow Strongly

In this note we revisit and update our thesis that Enterprise in EM is following an S-Curve, using 2023 reported figures. Enterprise customer growth continues to exhibit an S-Curve, and absolute Enterprise revenues added remains very strong in many EMs despite a slowdown in growth rates. We remain bullish on this space.
