Many people looking for opportunity. Before this very quiet.

Posted by pharker > 2021-04-08 17:54 | Report Abuse

In this business, size does matter. Economies of scale, synergy, resource sharing, minimise redundancy all are positive catalysts

if you look at AT&T previously, they are so huge that they have a strangle hold on the industry, so much so that the anti trust law in US forced them to break up into smaller baby bells

Posted by pharker > 2021-04-08 18:07 | Report Abuse

Wonder what is the share price of the newco ?

No wonder EPF quietly buying for past few months

Posted by AllYouCanBuy > 2021-04-08 19:22 | Report Abuse

Both companies have huge debts, how would that affect the share price?

Posted by pharker > 2021-04-08 19:33 | Report Abuse

If you think the huge debt will capsize the merged entity, then sell on news.

If you think the merged entity will capitalise on each others strength with synergy. especially going forward with 5G on the roll out, then buy or hold.

At the end of the day, its up to the market to decide. let's see tomorrow. Keeping the fingers crossed.

Posted by AllYouCanBuy > 2021-04-08 19:43 | Report Abuse

I heard from the radio on the 5G industry. Tonnes of money involved to build up the base itself. Long period of time is required too. That's perhaps the main reason of the merge. 5G may sound glamorous but business wise it's more to our understanding. Profits don't come easily. The speaker also mentioned that there is concern when 6G is coming out sooner than we think too.

Fingers crossed but be cautious and never chase high unless you have the holding power. Good luck all!!

They said abt synergy but 5 g is now build by gomem n every telco will have equal access.

Posted by Junichiro > 2021-04-08 20:35 | Report Abuse

In the past, each telco build their own, so some have better networks. Now, with gomen in the pic, this advantage is gone. So, every telco's network quality is the same. Super normal profits are long gone.

Posted by pharker > 2021-04-08 20:36 | Report Abuse

To be honest, not really good for consumers as this enlarged merged giant will dominate the market , almost becoming a monopoly coz by then Maxis will be a small player by comparison.

But I guess its a trade off the government, MCMC, has to put up with.

To roll out 5G require intensive capital expenditure. As it is now, no one single telco can shoulder that and the govt currently also very tight, large allocation has been used for purchase of covid 19 vaccines which is a priority.

So closed one eye to allow the merger, at the expense of consumer, so that the merged entity can take up the capital expenditure of 5G roll out. Tit for tat.

Posted by pharker > 2021-04-08 20:39 | Report Abuse

This whole deal..losers are consumer and Maxis

Posted by AllYouCanBuy > 2021-04-08 20:41 | Report Abuse

Agree with @pharker. Less competition will be bad for the consumers, service will go down while fees go up.

Posted by AllYouCanBuy > 2021-04-08 20:46 | Report Abuse

5G layout costs hands and legs! They can only push the burden to the consumers. Also, the business profit takes years to show! If the share price flies tomorrow will sell to take profit. Buy back when it falls down to its fundamental value. After all, the word merge is NOT too big to fall.

Hopefully not too many have this knowledge or else the share will not limit up tomorrow.

Posted by peng01 > 2021-04-08 20:56 | Report Abuse

hi all, warren buffet also buying verizon, big telco sure will benifit the most, maxis and umobile is the loser.

Posted by Junichiro > 2021-04-08 20:57 | Report Abuse

Competition will be on price since network quality is the same. The obvious bene is Umobile. It will be a volume game with low margins. And then again gomen will come in to regulate the price like Mr Singh did to TM
