Maxis plans to raise US$390m through a primary placement in order to repay borrowings and fund its expansion/growth plans. The sector overall doesn't look very attractive, to put it mildly. For a change, there seems to be a consensus among analysts on calling a SELL, with 16 analysts rating the stock a SELL and 13 a HOLD and no BUYs. <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/companies/151" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="companies:151">New Street Research</a> has been negative on the sector and the stock for a while and rightly so.

This week has been a tough one for the people of Jakarta, as the outgoing Governor was handed an extremely dubious sentence of two years in jail, on an even more dubious trumped up charge of blasphemy. According to some interesting post-election analysis, Ahok lost squarely because of this case. A large number of voters, who approved of the great work he had done in Jakarta, moved to vote against him due to the religious angle (as well as some intimidation it seems).Even though President Jokowi…

Our view remains that the Malaysian incumbent wireless operators continue to look overvalued. Service revenues fell by 3.3% YoY in 4Q16, and it is hard to see where a recovery will come from.

Malaysian Wireless Operators See Falling Subscriber Numbers & Revenues. Competition Starting to Bite

New Street Research attended this year's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona recently. While the move to 5G will bring huge increases in localized wireless capacity, the transition around 2020 to 5G looks increasingly likely to be smooth for many operators, with little impact on capex or revenue trajectories. 5G does not change the key economics of network densification. Where these are good, 5G will thrive. Where they are poor, 5G deployment will be slower. Only in markets with strong asymmetry…
