<Research Report>C Suisse Cuts CHINA MOBILE (00941.HK) Target to $100; Kept Outperform

Credit Suisse, in its report, said the share price of CHINA MOBILE (00941.HK) underperformed recently, But there is no sign that the company has specific negative factors in peers competition or government policies.

The broker maintained the full-year revenue growth of 7.6%, but slashed the 2017 EBITDA and earnings forecast by 1.2% and 3.9% due to unsatisfactory operating cost control. Credit Suisse cut the target price from $110 to $100, with rating Outperform.

Staying the course

Reiterate BUY on improving profitability

We remain positive on the sector and China Mobile's attractive value proposition, although we don't see any catalyst in the near term.

3Q17 results reaffirmed our view that profitability is gradually improving:
EBITDA growth of 7% YoY was an improvement from 3-6% in 1H17 and 2% above our estimate.

We are constructive on CM’s improving profitability despite aggressive pricing by competitors, elimination of domestic long distance roaming (DLDR), and fixed line market expansion.

However, China Telecom remains our top pick in the Chinese telco sector due to its balanced fundamentals on both mobile and fixed-line businesses and as it offers the most upside on tower monetization.

China Mobile Offers Deep Value, Says Daiwa

By Adam Routh

China Mobile (941.HK) shares slipped on Monday despite posting solid third quarter earnings.

The Chinese telecom giant reported 4.6% year-on-year profit growth to CNY92.1 billion for the first nine months of the year, on 4.9% higher revenue of CNY569.5 billion.

Profit for the third quarter increased 6.9% compared to last year to CNY29.4 billion on the back of a 7.4% year-on-year increase in service revenues, driven by a stronger-than-expected performance in broadband.

Here's Daiwa analyst Ramakrishna Maruvada's take on the results:

The unmistakable conclusion for us is that China Mobile’s broadband business is gaining significant momentum fuelled by both market-share gains and average revenue per user (ARPU) increases.

Meanwhile, we believe the elimination of domestic long-distance charges from September may have weighed on the mobile business, though customer additions suggest 4G subscriber growth momentum is slowing for China Mobile, while China Unicom is gaining ground.

The results also suggest, perhaps not surprisingly so, that the launch of unlimited plans from May 2017 has stimulated data usage, with a slight acceleration in volumes (3Q17: +122% YoY; 2Q17: +113% YoY; 3Q16: +104% YoY).

Maruvada has a buy rating on the stock with a target price of HKD116.50 a share, implying 46% upside. He says the shares offer deep value with the stock trading at a 30% discount to its past-14-year average forward EV/EBITDA multiple.

Shares in China Mobile have vastly under performed this year, losing 3.9% so far compared to 28% gain by Hong Kong's benchmark Hang Seng Index.

<Research Report>M Stanley: CHINA MOBILE Mobile Share Loss Last Quarter Offsets Strong Fixed Growth

Morgan Stanley, in its report, said CHINA MOBILE (00941.HK) reported RMB92.1 billion net profit for the first nine months, 1.2% higher than the broker's estimate, meaning a net profit of RMB29.4 billion in 3Q, up 7.1% yearly and up 22.3% quarterly, beating estimates.

That was mainly driven by a drop in depreciation and amortization costs and non-operating items.

The group said depreciation and amortization costs have posted a high single-digit growth, and the group's net profit target for this year is better than that in the last year.

The group rated Underweight with target price of $70.

The broker said the group's 3Q mobile revenue growth moderated from 5% in 2Q to 3% (far below the forecast of China Unicom (up 10%) and China Telecom (up 12%)), offsetting the strong growth from fixed-line business (up 69% yearly).

The overall services revenue and EBITDA met estimates, and the profit after tax beats the broker's estimate.

<Research Report>M Stanley: CHINA MOBILE in Dilemma; Rated Underweight

Morgan Stanley, in its report, said it expected CHINA MOBILE (00941.HK)'s 5G capex to evidently eroded the long-term returns, and thus rated the telecom at Underweight with target price of $70.

Morgan Stanley assumed a flattish dividend payout of 46%.

The broker did not rule out the possibility of a slightly higher payout in future but it will not rise above 50% in the foreseeable future owing to 5G uncertainty.

The broker estimated that 2018 service revenue growth will slow to 5% from 7% in 2017, dragging EBITDA to only a growth of 4%.

Net profit growth was expected to be only 3% due to heightened cost pressure.
