With the current prospect, competition and government pushing for affordable fixed broadband connection. I would suggest wait and see for now. Personal re-enter price suggestion RM2.50 based on the following points
1) Government policy pushing for price cut
2) Maxis and Axiata has announced heavy investment into fixed broadband lines reducing TM reliance
3) TM internal governance and lack of competitiveness due to being monopoly for a long time
4) Assumption of reduced dividend play
Pandora box has been opened for TM. Invest wisely.
*The above are purely personal opinion. Invest at your own risk.

Yes, it will go up and down in the coming months. For long term holder, better wait. For short term buy and sell. All depends on your luck and timing.

Posted by W1S3 > 2018-08-30 11:09 | Report Abuse

@titus, the 700m commitment is based on the company performance. As said before, at the current rate, it is unlikely that TM will continue with the same payout.
I don't think TM will cut off dividend totally. Perhaps at a reduced rate.

No, with Unifi RM79 plan introduced to everyone, surely will affect its profit margin very deep. Expect weaker performance after this.

In business, most of the time there is no winner in price competition except consumer.

Maxis offering 89. TM offering 79.

Why can't compete? You're not happy saving 120 dollars a year on same connection?

Geary, exactly. This plan is good for all Malaysians. Everyone here just think about how much stock price.

You all wanted new government, then now got new government and less crony and monopoly, got reforms in place and accessible broadband for all, not happy with stock price. Money isn't everything.

You know, Astro monthly subcription fee is very high yet it has more subcribers than TM! So lowering the monthly fee for unifi will only grow it's base! Give and take another few quarters and TM will see increase in revenue! It's high time for TM to lower it's fee for sake of doubling it's base! Do it now before competitors make their move!

If July to Sept currency keep on improve, Will there be any saving in Forex ?

Posted by qmtronic > 2018-08-30 13:43 | Report Abuse

Buns, from my understanding TM rm79 is for wireless bband, while maxis rm89 is home fiber connectivity.

Compare home fiber unlimited @ 30mbps, you see maxis rm89 vs TM rm139.
The existing home fiber guarantee will run away to maxis especially for people who keep using astro.

If want compare wireless bband, maxis rm78@20gb vs TM rm79@60gb.

TM market could go no where if they stick with same pricing for home fiber subscribers, as investors you decide.

@titus @Shinnzai
I am not sure to be honest about their dividend policy. But to be realistic, if a company does not have the cash flow to sustain dividend, it's only natural to reduce it. At the end of the day it basically means changing their dividend policy.

Posted by AZnobody > 2018-08-30 14:33 | Report Abuse

With diVidend RM 3.5 is ok. Without dividend, should go lower

Posted by W1S3 > 2018-08-30 14:41 | Report Abuse

Actually we can ask ourselves these few simple questions.
1) Is TM still monopoly? Not anymore
2) Is TM competitive when compared with Maxis, Axiata, TIME and etc? Never was and I doubt it will in near future. These are the companies that is already heavily pushing their own fixed lines to reduce reliance on TM.
3) Is government policies pro TM or telcos currently? Current government policy is not in favor of telcos, margin will be squeezed.
4) Is TM dividend policy better than it's competitors? The latest announcement came with no dividend.
I maintain my personal view that TM medium term target at RM2.50 depending on it's revised dividend play as share prices would normally fluctuates with its dividend policy.
