StarHub on its Q1 financial performance;Sustained market competition and the rolloutof 5G;

Let’s talk about telcos today. And we want to focus our attention on mainboard-listed StarHub which had released its Q1 results just about a couple of weeks ago. The company posted a 26 per cent rise in net profits to S$37.5 million for the first quarter ended March. StarHub attributed its Q1’s performance to higher service revenue, which grew 11 per cent year-on-year, despite sustained market competition. But what is the competitive landscape for the telco operator with the rollout of 5G? And how effective has StarHub’s Dare+ transformation strategy to introduce new 5G solutions been in generating sustainable revenue growth and dividend growth? Meanwhile, the company also cited a boost from the consolidation of MyRepublic broadband for its stronger Q1 showing. But how has MyRepublic broadband generated long-term synergies for StarHub, particularly in the areas of cloud gaming and over-the-top content?
