Starhub profit projected to increase by 5.1%

Starhub’s net profit is projected to increase to S$216.5m in FY2010E following the announcement of plans for NGNBN, said Phillip Securities Research.

In a media conference StarHub has highlighted its home and business solutions for the Next Generation National Broadband Network. According to Phillip Securities Research, Starhub has become the first telecommunications company to provide more details of its price plans for NGNBN, which are named as MaxInfinity. In addition, Starhub has four access plans that are priced from S$68.27 to S$395.90.

“We have raised StarHub’s broadband revenue estimates by 5.6%, 33.2% and 42.5% to S$281.5m, S$370.8m and S$414.1m in FY2010E, FY2011E and FY2012E respectively. This is because we expect StarHub to register a net gain of 60,000, 30,000 and 20,000 broadband subscribers in FY2010E, FY2011E and FY2012E respectively,” said Phillip Securities Research.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
