The announcement did not provide the estimated value of the arrangement, which will be determined by usage at the agreed rates. While some revenue will be generated from utilizing Celcom’s network, we expect minimal earnings contributions from webe over the medium term given its low subscriber base relative to the 4 main cellular operators currently contending for market share.

Even though Axiata currently trades at a bargain FY18F EV/EBITDA of 5x, way below its Maxis’ 13x, the group’s likely weak 4QFY18 results announcement later today from further year-end asset impairments amid deteriorating overseas risk profile from Nepal’s additional capital gains tax charge on NCELL acquisition and intense competition from both local and overseas mobile operations constrain upside momentum. Additionally, the government’s intention to reduce Khazanah Nasional’s GLC holdings casts possibilities of a share overhang over the medium term.
