M1's net profit up 7.5% to $40.3m

Looks like M1 won't be fixing broken lines anytime soon.

According to the research by Maybank Kim Eng, M1 opened 2012 with all the signals intact and pointing in the right direction. While net profit rise of 7.5% QoQ to $40.3m is inline with market expectations and company guidance of a stable performance in FY12, Maybank saw extremely positive YoY trends.

Notably, there are very encouraging signs of an earlier-than-expected ability to monetise its data business. Further, as rollout issues are increasingly resolved, Maybank expects greater gains in fibre subscriber base in the quarters ahead to be another positive catalyst for the stock.

M1’s outlook is clearing up as greater visibility is gained on its future margin and topline drivers.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
