Counter

AXIATA (6888)

Target Price (RM)

2.55

Recommendation

Hold

• Broadband services were partially restored in selected areas on Tuesday evening following a five-day shutdown, but mobile services remain unavailable. • Robi are likely to be affected due to its reliance on the prepaid mobile sector. Consequently, we tweak our bottom-line forecast for FY24F lower, with reduction of 3.7% yoy. 

• We maintain our HOLD recommendation with a lower target price of RM2.55 based on DCF valuation (WACC of 7% with a long-term growth rate of 0.5%) after accounting for rising macroeconomic risk from the frontier market as well as weaker investor sentiment.
