Singtel outlook cut to ' negative' by S& P in downgrade trifecta WED, JUL 31, 2019 - 11:04 PM MAINBOARD-LISTED Singtel' s outlook was cut to " negative" by credit agency Standard & Poor' s on Wednesday, a week before the telco is slated to release its first-quarter results. Singtel will likely have weaker financial metrics in the coming year, S& P Global Ratings said, even as it affirmed its " A+" long-term and " A-1" short-term issuer ratings on the company. Moody' s Investors Service and Fitch Ratings had lowered their outlook to negative in March, while S& P warned that same month that the company was skirting closer to a ratings downgrade trigger. The outlook downgrade came on expectations that leverage - measured by the ratio of funds from operations to debt - will fall below 40 per cent in the year to March 31, 2020, on the back of declines at Singtel' s regional associates, especially Telkomsel in Indonesia. The chances of this scenario are one in three, according to the S& P analysts, who added: " We revised the outlook on Singtel to reflect increasing competition in the company' s major operating markets and the concurrent elevated cash needs for capital expenditure and dividend payout." The analysts did not factor in the impact of a potential divestment of Singtel' s loss-making but fast-growing digital assets - an option that company leadership has mooted - as the timing and valuation of such transactions in the medium term are still uncertain, S& P added. The S& P report suggested that Singtel' s outlook could be further cut if leverage " stays close to or below 40 per cent on a sustained basis" . Otherwise, the outlook could be bumped back up to " stable" , the analysts said, " if Singtel' s financial headroom improves in line with our expectations with disciplined financial policies" . In tandem with the revised view of the parent, S& P has also lowered the outlook for Optus, Singtel' s Australian subsidiary, to " negative" . But the agency noted that it does expect Singtel to " gradually improve its operating performance over the next two years" , supported by its market leadership and wide geographical footprint. Singtel said in a reply on the bourse website that " Singtel and Optus' credit ratings are strong and we remain financially disciplined and committed to maintaining our investment-grade credit ratings" , reiterating a point that it had made after the Moody' s downgrade. https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/companies-markets/singtel-outlook-cut-to-negative-by-sp-in-downgrade-trifecta

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Everyday, evil shorties unceasingly try to talk down our SG stalwarts such as DBS, Singtel, Capitaland, etc to profit fm their evil shorts...... Some even claimed during AGM, Singtel had announced huge decrease in dividends going forward. But why not a single news mentioned such an earth-shattering announcement? These shorties are selling stocks that they don' t even own. Basically profiting fm thin air....... How evil is that.................

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Singtel elbows it' s way into the lucrative Insurance domain......................... Singtel bundles insurance into mobile services for foreign workers THU, JUL 25, 2019 - 11:26 PM   UPDATED FRI, JUL 26, 2019 - 11:46 AM IN a move targeted at foreign workers, Singtel will be bundling NTUC Income-provided insurance coverage into its prepaid and remittance app services. The telco is absorbing the insurance premiums as acquisition cost, hoping that the move will encourage cross-platform subscription and increase its market share. The telco serves 60 per cent of Singapore' s 1.17 million foreign workers across its prepaid and remittance services. However, not every prepaid customer remits money using the Dash app, and not every Dash user is a Singtel mobile subscriber. The new insurance coverage is meant to supplement, not replace, the mandatory medical insurance that employers are expected to purchase for foreign workers. The insurance payouts by NTUC Income are thus relatively small: S$5,000 for permanent disability or accidental death, and S$20 per day in hospitalisation income, for example.  Singtel customers can receive coverage in three ways. First, if they remit more than S$100 using the Singtel Dash mobile app, they will qualify for permanent disability and accidental death coverage. Second, if they top up at least S$20 on a prepaid card, they receive the same coverage benefits, as well as a S$200 cash payout in the event of job loss after hospitalisation. They also receive a one-time S$50 and 1GB of local mobile data after the fourth day of hospitalisation. Third, purchasing Singtel' s new S$2, 50MB Protect data plan entitles customers to the same benefits as the prepaid card top-up, but expands the job loss payout to S$3,000. All three methods trigger coverage for a 30-day period from the time of the triggering action. https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/companies-markets/singtel-bundles-insurance-into-mobile-services-for-foreign-workers

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Singtel expands its VIA mobile payment alliance to Japan THU, JUL 25, 2019 - 3:15 PM    UPDATED THU, JUL 25, 2019 - 5:29 PM SINGTEL on Thursday debuted its cross-border mobile payment alliance, VIA, in Japan through the StarPay platform by Japanese tech firm Netstars. This expands the VIA alliance&rsquo s footprint beyond Singapore and Thailand, the telco said in a joint media statement with Netstars. Merchants at the Haneda Airport International Terminal, which is operated by Japan Airport Terminal Co, can now accept QR code payments from tourists on VIA. More acceptance points across Japan will be added in the coming year, starting with the rest of Tokyo and other popular tourist destinations such as Osaka, Kyoto and Hokkaido. Acceptance points will include convenience stores, restaurants and department stores. The VIA alliance connects both telco and non-telco mobile wallets across borders, creating a region-wide payment network where travellers can use their local mobile wallets at participating merchants. Singtel, together with its regional associate AIS and Thailand&rsquo s largest digital bank, Kasikornbank,  first launched VIA in Singapore and Thailand  last October. This enabled QR code payments across both countries through the Singtel Dash, AIS Global Pay and Rabbit Line Pay wallets. With the alliance&rsquo s launch at Haneda Airport, tourists from Singapore and Thailand can now also shop and dine in Japan using QR code payments in their home currencies at competitive exchange rates. More mobile wallets will be joining VIA in the coming months, Mr Lang said. Other wallets that are joining VIA include Kasikornbank&rsquo s K Plus in Thailand, Axiata Digital&rsquo s Boost in Malaysia, and LinkAja in Indonesia, according to the statement on Thursday. This will grow the alliance to represent some 40 million mobile-wallet users and 2.1 million merchants across Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and Japan. Singtel said it plans to expand VIA to include its other regional associates as well as non-telcos. https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/companies-markets/singtel-expands-its-via-mobile-payment-alliance-to-japan

Starship      ( Date: 03-Jul-2019 14:38) Posted: SingTel, Hong Leong will get digital bank licences July 2nd, 2019  It&rsquo s a nap that two of the licences will go to SingTel (or a SingTel jv) and Hong Leong Group. SingTel or a jv led by it will get one of the two digital full bank licences, which will allow licensees to provide a wide range of financial services and take deposits from retail customers. The focus of a SingTel bank will be regional remittances via its regional network of telcos. Think of all the Peenoy and Indon maids who remit money via remittance firms. Grab or Go-Jek could decide to try to cut a deal with SingTel, rather than apply for a virtual bank licence themselves because they can bring to the party a regional presence via their apps etc. But SingTel may be too greedy to do a jv. I suspect the authorities will make SingTel tie up with Go-Jek or Grab. But the other co will not be left out in the cold (see below) because I think the authorities want competition here between the two and because Temasek has stakes in both:  Temasek, GIC got this right in our  backyard.  Related post:  Offered money, Grab  it Hong Leong group will get one of the up to three digital wholesale bank licences, which will allow licensees &ldquo to serve SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) and other non-retail segments&rdquo . Hong Leong Finance is a de facto SME bank though people like Inderjit Singh and Jack Sim are not happy with the way it does biz, and are forever KPKBing for really cheap financing for SME owners, even though it&rsquo s a fact that SME owners often divert biz loans to buy property. Grab, Go-Jek and Razor will try for the other virtual bank licence, though I think they&rsquo ll have to find a S&rsquo porean partner because  I&rsquo m sure they will try to get M1 owned by Keppel and SPH to partner one of them. But as I said for Grab and Go-Jek working with SingTel could be a better bet if SingTel is not too greedy. The other could then tie up with M1.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	The fundamentals holding up this stock are abstract but true. Reversing interest rates favour such stocks with their high debts enabling them to pay dividends albeit lower than 17.5cts. When rates reverse, big international funds flow back into Singtel because of the dividends & the favourable exchange rates. The ongoing 4g revolution needs 5G, Singtel being the best bet. No auction of 5G favours Singtel. When its foreign investments threaten to go awry, not because of its fault as in Airtel, GIC & Temasek stepped in to help in the extra fundings. Not only the board oversees Singtel, Temasek too. When something is wrong, changes in top management are swiftly made keeping it sharp & efficient. The 4G is growing etc. I ' 1ll move in if it reverses to $3 & below.     Wyeo.
