Singapore Telcos Latest 5G iteration: more cooks?
Looking tougher… The Communications Minister has unveiled the latest on 5G licensing, with two more localised-area 5G licenses to be issued on top of two nationwide licenses. Higher competition risks could dampen the business case scenarios being run by interested parties. It could also potentially raise investors’ risk perception on upcoming and undisclosed 5G capex by Singtel and StarHub etc. Remain NEUTRAL as we await whether a 4- player 5G match-up would materialise in 2020. Netlink and StarHub remain our key BUYs.

Soilbuild Business Space Reit Confronting hurdles progressively Maintain HOLD and TP of S$0.55.
While business park assets continue to see positive rental reversions that will span well into next year, we continue to see headwinds within its industrial segment. We expect income weakness for its master-leases to NK Ingredients and Beng Kuang Marine to remain an overhang. Our DCF-based TP has been lowered to S$0.55 to account for the drag on earnings caused by the enlarged shareholder base, and our revised earnings estimates. Maintain HOLD.
