We project ~20% EBITDA decline in FY26F.

  • We project ~20% EBITDA decline in FY26F (vs StarHub’s guidance of 20-25% decline) due to 2.5% decline in consumer revenue and higher enterprise related opex.
  • Mobile service revenue is expected to drop ~2% as premium customers continue to migrate to value offerings (SIM-only plans), exerting pressure on overall ARPU. StarHub is aggressively migrating its value customers to higher ARPU 5G plans.

  • On a positive note, we expect the effect of sector consolidation to be visible in FY27F with a ~5% rise in mobile ARPU.

We expect enterprise order book growth in FY26F to translate into higher revenue in FY27–28F.
