📡 StarHub Misses M1 Buyout but May Gain from Simba’s Integration Struggles

SGX:CC3.SI:StarHub

StarHub’s share price fell 6.6% on Aug 11 after failing to acquire M1, whose S$1.4B consumer business was sold to Simba. Analysts suggest StarHub could instead seize the chance to lure M1 customers during Simba’s integration phase, leveraging its deeper pockets and similar target audience.

SGX:BN4.SI:Keppel Corporation

Keppel, which retains M1’s enterprise segment, has grown that revenue from S$245M in H1 2024 to S$335M in H1 2025, while consumer revenue slipped from S$348M to S$337M. The focus shift to enterprise under Keppel has left M1’s consumer arm facing intense competition and slim margins.

SGX:Z74.SI:Singapore Telecommunications

Singtel could also target M1’s customer base during the transition, potentially capitalising on churn if Simba’s low-cost model alienates customers seeking more physical service presence.

M1 (Unlisted)

M1’s sale gives Simba a revenue share boost from 6% to 24%, rivaling StarHub’s 23%. However, the integration of M1’s larger workforce and infrastructure may dilute Simba’s culture and pose customer retention risks.

Simba (Unlisted)

Simba, recently profitable as of H1 FY2025, is funding the M1 deal through a share placement and bank loan. Analysts warn that as a smaller player absorbing a larger one, Simba may face operational and cultural hurdles, leaving it exposed to competitor advances during the integration period.

🎰 Genting Singapore’s 2025 Slump: Analysts Cut Targets but Keep Faith in RWS 2.0 Revival

SGX:G13.SI:Genting Singapore

Genting Singapore’s shares have inched up less than 0.1% year-to-date, making it the sixth worst performer in the Straits Times Index despite earlier predictions of a rebound. H1 2025 results disappointed, with revenue down 10.4% y-o-y to S$1.21B and net profit falling 34.2% to S$234.7M. Adjusted Ebitda dropped 25.8% to S$423.7M, with Q2 revenue sliding 6.1% q-o-q to S$588.3M and Ebitda down 20.3% to S$187.9M.

Analysts blamed ongoing RWS 2.0 construction works for deterring visitors and hurting mass gaming, benefiting rival Marina Bay Sands. New attractions — including the Weave mall, Singapore Oceanarium, and The Laurus hotel — are expected to lift performance from H2 2025.

Despite cuts, CGS International maintained its “add” rating with a reduced target price of S$0.835. OCBC Investment Research kept a “buy” call, lowering its target to S$0.96, while Maybank trimmed its target to S$1.00, citing temporary disruption. The stock closed at S$0.735 on Aug 12, with a 5.4% yield based on 2024 payouts. Ex-dividend for its S$0.02 interim dividend is set for Aug 27.
