Starhub Still not enough to reach the stars
■ We like the prospects of StarHub’s FNS business, with growth to be accelerated by the recent acquisition of ASTL and the proposed purchase of D’Crypt. ■ However, we still expect EBITDA/core EPS to fall 12%/36% over FY16-20F as FNS growth will not be able to offset mobile, pay TV and broadband revenue declines. ■ More FNS-related acquisitions are possible but any potential boost to earnings will be limited by how much it can invest, amongst other factors. ■ The degree of mobile competition after TPG’s market entry will still likely have a bigger impact on StarHub’s earnings outlook in FY19-20F.
