  • SingTel (SGX:Z74)'s 1QFY24 (Apr to Jun 2023) revenue and EBITDA were within expectations at both 23% of our FY24e forecast. The 9% decline in the Australian dollar and drop in Optus margins were the drag on earnings.

  • Optus remains the weakest spot for the group with EBIT declining 28% y-o-y in local currency terms to S$56mil. Despite the larger revenue and market size, Optus EBIT is only 23% of Singapore operations.
  • Upgrade SingTel to BUY with lower target price of S$2.80 (previously S$2.84).
  • Valuations are attractive but any re-rating for SingTel will come from its S$6bn asset monetization efforts, better cost controls at Optus, mobile price restoration and broadband growth.

The Positives
