Check out these 2 major catalysts for Singtel this year

One involves the new telco.

After an uneventful quarter for Singtel, it will could potentially face two major catalysts this year.

According to Maybank KimEng, a potential negative catalyst will be the General Spectrum Auction, as the new telco TPG could certainly raise the level of market competition.

"We have currently assumed spectrum payouts of $135m for Singtel and $105m each for M1 and StarHub," the firm said.

On the flip side, a government-mandated IPO for NetLink Trust by April 2018 could potentially boost an upside for Singtel, as this could mean potential capital returns to shareholders.

However, it is still early to call, Maybank said, as the IPO process have just gotten underway.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
