Singapore Telcos Choose Discretion Over Valor
Consolidation an option for market repair but... During a recent interview, telco and media regulator IMDA indicated its openness to industry consolidation. This possibility for industry repair will likely not come soon but is at least an option. Along with potential changes to telco and media regulations, we remain cautious on the sector, despite significant share-price corrections. Remain NEUTRAL. StarHub provides the best value while Netlink NBN Trust offers insulation from wireless uncertainties, in our view.

CapitaLand Commercial Trust (CCT SP) Risk-Reward Profile Finely Balanced
Maintain NEUTRAL, TP of SGD1.86 reflects 4% downside. CapitaLand Commercial Trust’s 1Q19 results are in line, at 24% of our full-year forecast. Key catalysts are the announcement of redevelopment plans for 21CQ, yield-accretive acquisition of the remaining stake in CapitaSpring and overseas assets. Despite its positive outlook, its valuation of 1.1x P/BV and FY19F yield of ~5% are not compelling enough, in our view. We recommend investors to buy the stock on dips.

Stronger-thanexpected order wins in O&M and resolution of Sete Brasil rigs are catalysts.
