Why SingTel won't be badly hurt by Myanmar bid loss

Market is just 5% of total EV.

According to DBS, Myanmar proceeds last week to award the telco licenses. The winners of the tender are Qatar-based Ooredoo and Norway-based Telenor with France Orange-Telecom as back up should any of the winners be disqualified.

DBS had estimated that the Myanmar market is worth US$2.8bn or just about 5% of SingTel’s total EV. Hence, a win may still not have a significant on SingTel’s earnings.

"Rather, we remain concerned on Bharti’s recovery prospects and losses from SingTel’s digital business. We also have concerns regarding weak AUD, INR and maintain Hold on SingTel," DBS said.

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.
