Singtel May Exit Stake in Thai Associate Following Its Merger Deal -- Market Talk

Dow Jones2024-07-18

0227 GMT - Singtel will likely eventually exit its Thai associate Intouch following the latter's merger with its largest shareholder, Gulf Energy, says Hussaini Saifee, analyst at Maybank Research in a note. Intouch's merger with Gulf Energy sees Singtel swapping its 24.99% stake in Intouch for a 9% stake in the new entity, which is around 1% earnings dilutive for Singtel, Saifee estimates. As the new company will be a "non-telco conglomerate outside of Singtel's telco/data centric businesses," it will likely exit it, especially as it is a highly liquid, Saifee adds. This in turn will help Singtel's divestment process, as its 9% stake is valued at an estimated S$2.2 billion, Saifee estimates. Saifee retains a buy rating on Singtel with a target price of S$3.40. Shares are 1.3% higher at S$3.06. (kimberley.kao@wsj.com)
