Attractive yield differentials. With Singapore government bond yields trending lower, the yield differential between fixed income and equities has narrowed in 2025, thus reinforcing the relative appeal of companies offering high, sustainable dividend payouts. Equity yields in the 4-6% range now offer a compelling pickup versus the 10-year Singapore Government Bond yield (1.8579% as at 4 Sep 25), while also providing potential for capital gains. In our view, this widening yield gap should support...
Despite higher 1QFY26 revenue (+1.9% yoy), Netlink posted lower EBITDA (-1.9% yoy) and PATMI (-9.2% yoy), dragged by lower margins and higher operating costs. 1QFY26 RAB revenue was slightly higher yoy while non-RAB revenue surged on an increase in installation-related and ancillary project revenue. With its stable revenue streams and operating cash flows, we continue to like Netlink as a high-yielding, safe haven stock. Maintain BUY with an unchanged target price of S$0.98.

For 1Q25, the sector’s muted 1.7% yoy earnings growth was within expectations, underpinned by strong contributions from Singtel’s regional associates and better overall cost discipline. Moving into 2Q25, we expect similar sector earnings growth, largely driven by Singtel and NetLink. We like Singtel for its regional exposure, Starhub as the main beneficiary of market consolidation and NetLink for its defensive earnings, supported by the sector’s attractive dividend yields. Maintain OVERWEIGHT.
