Telstra Doesn't Seem to Be Benefiting From Optus's Problems -- Market Talk

Dow Jones01-09

0104 GMT - The boost that Morgans analyst Nick Harris expected Telstra to get from problems at rival Optus doesn't appear to have occurred. Harris thought that Singapore Telecommunications-owned Optus might have experienced elevated customer churn following its highly publicized failure to connect calls to emergency services. This followed an earlier network outage and a data breach. He tells clients in a note that, while this is still possible, recent industry feedback suggests the short-term impact on Optus was not that material. Morgans keeps a hold rating and A$4.80 target price on Telstra stock, which is up 0.7% at A$4.835. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
