Maxis (MAXIS MK) - 3Q24: Strong Results; EBITDA Guidance Maintained
3Q24: Strong Results; EBITDA Guidance Maintained Maxis reported strong 3Q24 results, with net profit surging 28% yoy. This was due to higher service revenue and a one-off manpower rationalisation cost in 3Q23. Maxis declared a third interim DPS of 4 sen/share (86% payout) and maintained its EBITDA guidance of a low single-digit growth for 2024. The upcoming 4Q24 results are expected to be sequentially weaker given higher device costs and subsidies with the launch of iPhone 16. Maintain BUY with ...

CelcomDigi (CDB MK) - Flow Through Of Merger Synergies
Flow Through Of Merger Synergies Network integration works are expected to yield savings of RM5.5b over five years. With a target completion of 75% by end-24, we believe CelcomDigi is set to see a flow through in merger savings by 2H25. The stock offers a three-year earnings CAGR of 15% and 5% dividend yield. The potential monetisation of its tower assets may be a catalyst. The stock has retraced 10% ytd and we see emerging value. Upgrade to BUY with an unchanged DCF-based fair value of RM4.50.

Transition To Dual Wholesale Network For 5G By End-24 Telcos have been invited by the government to submit proposals to develop Malaysia’s second 5G network. The government also said that telcos are restricted to holding equity only in one entity. As such, consortiums forming entity B (second network) will sell their share in DNB. The government will also exit DNB. We expect the government to announce a second network by end-24. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT. Top picks are TIME and MAXIS.
