As per latest, it is not ended. I bought starhub because of 5G roll out and its market segmentation as exclusive premium for singtel, starhub and M1. This differentiate them with other operators. Majority is still using 4G. Thus this is a competitive choice for consumers which meet IMDA expectations. The next one is TA which chart look bottom up. So just buy and hold.

StarHub H1 net profit falls by 12.3% to S$67.9m on lower wage subsidies
MAINBOARD-LISTED telco StarHub on Thursday reported a double-digit decline in first-half earnings, dragged down by lower wage-subsidy payouts compared to the year before.
Net profit shrank by 12.3 per cent to S$67.9 million for the six months to June 30, despite the cyber-security segment notching operating profits against a year-ago loss.
Service revenue dipped by 0.2 per cent to S$779.5 million, on declines in mobile and entertainment turnover. Overall revenue inched up by 1.5 per cent to S$973.7 million, as customer upgrades to 5G premium handsets boosted equipment sales.
Based on the outlook, the group maintained its guidance for full-year service revenue to be stable year on year. StarHub is also on track to achieve cost savings of S$273 million from a three-year strategic transformation that ends in October the sum saved surpasses its initial S$210 million goal. The telco plans to launch a fresh five-year roadmap in November.
The year-on-year earnings decline came as other income decreased by 65.8 per cent on the tapering of the Jobs Support Scheme (JSS). Finance expenses ticked up on the interest costs of higher borrowing, as well as financial liabilities from buying infocomm technology provider Strateq.
Excluding the effect of the JSS, underlying net profit would have risen by 6.6 per cent to S$67.3 million, from S$63.2 million before, StarHub said.
Still, revenue from mobile service, which used to drive StarHub' s income, dropped by 15.4 per cent year on year to S$259.8 million, as the pandemic' s impact on travel ate into revenues from roaming services and tourist and foreign workers' prepaid lines.
Postpaid mobile average revenue per user (ARPU), a key metric for consumer telecom services, slipped to S$28 a month, from S$32 the year before. The number of postpaid mobile subscriptions dipped to 1.44 million lines, from 1.45 million previously.
Enterprise services overtook the mobile segment to contribute S$333.6 million in revenue, with help from Strateq, which StarHub bought in March 2020. Cyber-security and managed services also recorded a higher turnover year on year.
Earnings per share fell to 3.7 Singapore cents, from 4.2 cents before, while net asset value was 32.1 cents a share, against 31.1 cents as at Dec 31, 2020.
The board has declared an interim dividend of 2.5 Singapore cents, unchanged from the year before. Books close on Aug 17 and the dividend will be paid out on Aug 31.

The mobile price war is nearly over. 4G price plans should have bottom out. Infact i expect telcos to start revising the prices upwards by 5-10% to generate more revenue.

StarHub posts 12.3% drop in 1H earnings to $67.9 mil on lower JSSLocal telco StarHub announced that its 1HFY2021 ended June earnings came in at $67.9 million, some 12.3% lower than $77.4 million in the previous year. This was mainly due to a decrease in other income.Excluding the effect of the JSS, underlying net profit would have risen by 6.6% to $67.3 million, from $63.2 million a year ago. Total revenue for the period was 1.5% higher at $973.7 million from $959.6 million last year, mainly due to higher contributions from Broadband, Enterprise Business and Sales of Equipment, offset mainly by lower revenues from Mobile and Entertainment. Against the corresponding period last year, Mobile service revenues was 15.4% lower, due to lower postpaid and prepaid revenues. The decrease in postpaid revenues was due to lower IDD, lower excess data usage, lower voice usage, lower VAS (value-added services) revenues and lower roaming, partially offset by the increase in SMS usage and higher plan subscriptions. The decrease in prepaid revenues was due to a decline in the number of tourists and foreign workers from sustained travel restrictions, lower data subscriptions, lower prepaid expired credit and lower IDD. Notably, the impact of Covid-19 on roaming revenues was for the full six months in 1HFY2021, compared to four months in 1HFY2020, as global travel and movement restrictions commenced in March 2020. Broadband service revenue increased 12.5% y-o-y, due to higher ARPUs from reduced subscription discounts and the absence of a one-time 20% rebate on Home Broadband monthly fee extended to customers for a service disruption in April 2020. Excluding the one-time rebate from prior year, revenue would have been $9.1 million or 10.5% higher y-o-y in 1HFY2021. Entertainment service revenue decreased 3.4% y-o-y, due to a lower residential Pay TV subscriber base, offset by higher ARPUs from the increased price in HomeHub bundled plans, lower commercial TV revenue and lower spending on advertising by business customers. Enterprise Business revenue increased 12.9% y-o-y, due to higher contributions from Managed Services, Cybersecurity Services and the consolidation of Strateq under Regional ICT Services (acquired on 30 July 2020). This was partially offset by lower revenues from Data & Internet and Voice Services. Revenue from Sales of Equipment increased 8.8% y-o-y, mainly due to customers upgrading to 5G handset models, resulting in higher volume of premium handsets sold. Other income was 65.8% lower y-o-y at $6.4 million from $18.8 million, mainly due to lower Job Support Scheme (JSS) payouts since 2QFY2020, partially mitigated by higher recovery of tunnel fees from TPG and higher income grant. The JSS payouts recognised in 1HFY2021 was $1.2 million compared to $15.7 million in the corresponding period last year. The board has declared an interim dividend of 2.5 cents. Nikhil Eapen, CEO of StarHub says, &ldquo We are pleased to report q-o-q growth across all our key segments in 2QFY2021 although market competition remains intense and business conditions are still challenged with Covid-19. We see early results from driving a differentiated strategy that delivers real value to our customers lives." &ldquo Our focus is to enrich customers' connectivity experiences across 4G, 5G and home broadband with entertainment offerings from OTT partnerships such as Disney+, to our partnership in cloud gaming with NVIDIA GeForce NOW. This drives our premium standing with customers, with highest customer satisfaction scores in CSISG and our rating by Opensignal as an outright winner in Video Experience and Download Speed Experience." &ldquo With enterprise customers, we continue to enable their own transformation efforts across Cybersecurity Services, Regional ICT and Network Solutions. Our Enterprise business similarly achieved top positioning with customers and strong double-digit growth," adds Eapen. Shares in StarHub closed at $1.24 on Aug 5. |

I hope so. But bro, starhub already revised to pay half yearly. So it is 5 cents per annum or around 4%. But still good. I hold with 4% annual dividend and better future prospects with 5G roll out. I look at the report and their mobile business. It is 28 dollars per user for postpaid. The lowest 5G postpaid offered is 65 dollars, 95 and 115. I think M1 and singtel got 50 dollars postpaid for 5G. So it will only be better when more people shift to 5G. Other sectors are all stable or growing. Then you know other operators are renting M1, starhub and singtel 4G infrastructure to run their business. Starhub and singtel run giga and gomo to play with them. I am quite confident that it is a very stable investment with minimum 4% dividend with current price and expect they will increase dividend when mobile business turn better and increase dividend in near future.

So long as not raising rights for funding 5G infrastructure, it will be best way to reward their shareholders.
TPG, my republic and other 7 operators, please kill each other with GiGa and Gomo in 4G network. Furthermore.
Singtel( sg market less than 20% of its revenue) M1 and starhub will be back to glory.
The world will reopen from covid soon.

It will be long journey to 2+.
Let's hope the result still can remain the 5cents annual dividend payout.
5G roll out still 4 years to go till 2025.
Next watch up in the industry will be my republic IPO which the founder and private investors would like to cash out. Once go for listing, they are accountable for shareholders, cannot anyhow burn money. TPG, I think they may either buy over M1 or just be in and focus on other countries business.

It is subjected their dividend payment.
Starhun cut more than singtel in past 4 years.
Both 4.5 in 2015. Singtel 2.2+, starhub 1.2+.
Singtel is averaged by India, Australia and etc market business. Starhub only looking at singapore marker.
So 5G is rolling in progress in sg within 3 telco and M1 and starhub are alliance now.
Price war only at 4G market segmentation.
Starhub is cash rich after cutting down dividend payment in past 2 years. Which corporate action will come soon. No matter what is that, it is potential for it to go back 2+ potentially
