Malaysian Telcos Q4 24 review: Soft Q4; guidance suggests recovery on...
4Q24 service revenue trend remained soft off prepaid weakness, partly offset by Fibre and Enterprise momentum which enabled Maxis to grow faster than CelcomDigi. Industry EBITDA was weaker off a higher comparable base, but guidance suggests a recovery in 2025 in particular for CelcomDigi.

True Corporation (TRUE TB) - Robust Core Profit Expected In 1Q25
Core profit for 1Q25 is projected to skyrocket 290% yoy and 20% qoq, underpinned by improved cost management, an enhanced gross margin and a reduced SG&A-to-sales ratio. Revenue from the mobile business should drop slightly yoy and qoq due to fewer days in 1Q25 and lower revenue from NT. We expect TRUE’s performance to continue improving and to turn around in 2H25. Maintain BUY with a target price of Bt14.50.

Thai Telcos Thoughts on upcoming spectrum auction
We give our thoughts on pricing and total spend ahead of the upcoming THB 121bn (USD 3.6bn) spectrum auction in Thailand (likely in May 2025). Reserve prices seem reasonable, but the early auction of expiring 2027 spectrum means total spend this year is likely to be above our original forecasts.

TRUE reported a Bt7.5b net loss in 4Q24, improving yoy but worsening qoq, missing expectations. The larger loss was due to a one-off asset impairment from network modernisation and losses from subsidiaries and associates. Excluding one-off items, core loss was Bt293m (+94% yoy, -113% qoq). We maintain our projections while awaiting more information from the analyst meeting. Maintain BUY on TRUE with a target price of Bt14.50.

Indian FWA net adds continue to accelerate and reached roughly c. 2.1m in the December quarter. India is probably therefore now accounting for around 50% of global shipments. We continue to think this is a critical development, and likely to drive an S-curve of adoption in Global EM.
