this maybe why the surge. =DJ SingTel Plans To Float Part Of Optus As Early As 1H-Sources (2010/01/14 11:23AM By Costas Paris and P.R. Venkat Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES SINGAPORE (Dow Jones)--Singapore Telecommunications Ltd. (Z74.SG) wants to sell around 25% of its Australian unit Optus through an initial public offering in Australia that could raise about A$4 billion, people familiar with the situation said Wednesday. "Although there is no firm timing yet and no banks have been mandated, you could see things rolling as early as the first half of this year," one of those people told Dow Jones Newswires. Another person said SingTel could use the proceeds to "create a cash war-chest for acquisitions and expansion in markets outside Australia and Singapore." "Australia is a mature mobile market and SingTel doesn''t see much growth," he added. SingTel, Southeast Asia''s largest telecommunications firm by revenue, took control of Optus in 2001 through a bid valuing the Australian telecommunications firm at A$17 billion. The operator now values Optus at "more than A$14 billion" the second person said, without elaborating. Optus recorded a net profit of A$583 million for the year ended March 31. At the end of June, Optus estimated it had a 29% share of Australia''s mobile phone market, and it had 8.2 million mobile subscribers at the end of September, having outpaced Telstra in new subscribers. Though Optus is a cash cow for SingTel, some analysts have voiced concerns about the unit''s margins. Its earnings before interest, tax, debt and amortization margin fell to 23.0% in the second fiscal quarter ended Sep. 30 compared with 23.2% at the same time a year earlier and 27.8% in the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year ended March 31. Analysts also said margin pressure could intensify further with Vodafone Hutchison Australia - a mobile joint venture between Vodafone and Hutchison Australia - set to challenge Optus for share in the Australian market that''s led by Telstra Corp. Ltd (TLS). An increasingly competitive environment for Bharti Airtel Ltd. (532454.BY), SingTel''s largest bottom-line contributor among its six major foreign mobile associates, may also give fresh impetus for SingTel to make another acquisition in an emerging market to boost earnings growth. SingTel has said it is evaluating investment opportunities in China and people familiar with the situation have said in the past the company is interested in taking a stake in Vietnam''s MobiFone. It had also looked at investing in Ghana Telecom in 2007 but chose not to make a bid. An analyst with a foreign brokerage who declined to be named said that while an acquisition would be beneficial in theory, it would be difficult to pull off given SingTel''s lack of familiarity with Africa as well as regulatory hurdles in China and Vietnam. CLSA analyst Ashwin Sanketh said an Optus listing is a possibility but questions remain about how it might use proceeds. "While I buy the idea of a war-chest I''m skeptical about the availability of targets," Sanketh said. "For SingTel to grow acquisitions, India and Indonesia are the markets." The planned deal would also come at an uncertain time for the Australian telecommunications industry as the government pushes ahead with plans to build a new A$43 billion National Broadband Network. Optus has said it is potentially willing to participate in the NBN, but hasn''t said exactly how. -By Costas Paris, Dow Jones Newswires and P.R. Venkat; 65 6415 4151; costas.paris@dowjones.com |

I was hit badly in 2001 from the Sep 11 Attack. I learn a lot things from that day. One of the things is not good to keep shares for long-term, whether it is blue chips or not. Look at what happen to the long-term US investors in the recent financial crisis. Most so call blue chips drop 90% from their pre-crisis price. Citibank drop from US$57 to US$1.03 AIG drop from US$1,453 to US$7 Bank of America drop from US$54.85 to US$3.14 My strategy is simple, Buy Low and Sell High. When it is time to sell, you sell. Do not keep a share because you like it or it is a blue chip.
