Starhub

What is the track record of TPG? The statement gave us a glimpse of Mr. Teoh strategy

"Price is always his biggest thing. It is not customer service or a better network"

The cost is more important than ARPU. TPG was rated high for value-for-money and call clarity, but poor on customer service and network coverage.

His strategy might work in Singapore too. Is it a viable choice among mobile users in Singapore? Let's see.

Starhub is likely out from the M1's buyer list.

To build up its cash reserves, Starhub is selling perpetual securities at 3.95% with step up after 10 years.

IMO, this is a pretty low ball offering and I am definitely not interested in it at all. However, it will probably be fully subscribed due to institutional forcing down the throat to private clients and insurance funds

They issue relatively high dividends so tat they can issue PS that last 10 years with 1% step up after ?
More cash to burn and after 5 years it becomes other people problem. I will be piss if I am their clients as I think the risk can be pretty high. Fraser retail bond will be relatively much safer with 3.65% I feel.

It seems the shift is picking up. There are still differentiation between cable content and Netflix, but diminishing. Cable TV operators are just slowing the shift and accepted their fate?

There has been quite a bit of discussion 9-12 months ago on whether Starhub shares offered value. So far, we can say, no, they haven't.
