M1 - 3Q15 net profit of S$ 44.9m (+1% y-o-y, +1% qo-q) in line. Maintain FULLY VALUED with unchanged S$2.60 TP
M1's 3Q15 net profit of S$ 44.9m (+1% y-o-y, +1% q-o-q) was in line. Service revenues were flat while higher handset sales squeeze margins. M1 saw further loss of mobile market share to 23.1% versus 23.9% in 3Q14 and 25.3% in 3Q13. We expect further downside for M1 from potential entry of fourth player to be announced in 2Q16. We model 7% revenue share for the fourth mobile player by 2022 and expect a 10% adverse impact on M1's revenue in 2022 versus 4% for StarHub. Maintain FULLY VALUED with unchanged S$2.60 TP.

SATS' aviation operating data for 2Q and 1H FY2015-16. All operating metrics improved in the second quarter of FY2015-16 except for cargo/mail processed. The increases in passengers handled, flights handled, and unit services were driven by both full-service and low-cost carriers. In the first half of FY2015-16, cargo throughput registered a slight decline, while both gross and unit meals recorded broadbased growth. Flights handled and passengers handled declined due mainly to the loss of Jetstar Asia account in October 2014.
