OSK Research cautious on potential competition in Malaysia's broadband universe

KUALA LUMPUR: OSK Research said it was turning increasingly cautious on potential competition in Malaysia's broadband universe and it believes Green Packet could lose out owing to Packet One's limited coverage.

The research house said on Wednesday, Dec 15 following its earnings revision, it cut its target price from 92 sen previously to 78 sen, based on an unchanged 8x FY11 EV/EBITDA.

'The stock price has retreated by more than 25% since mid-2010 and hence we maintain our NEUTRAL recommendation,' it said.

The key re-rating catalysts are: (i) potential earnings surprises in the near term on solid broadband net adds, (ii) a quicker-than-expected earnings turnaround on cost moderation, (iii) solution sales to surge on more WiMAX deployment, and (iv) expedited coverage expansion to take advantage of fledging broadband take-ups.
