Check out these 2 major catalysts for Singtel this year

One involves the new telco.

After an uneventful quarter for Singtel, it will could potentially face two major catalysts this year.

According to Maybank KimEng, a potential negative catalyst will be the General Spectrum Auction, as the new telco TPG could certainly raise the level of market competition.

"We have currently assumed spectrum payouts of $135m for Singtel and $105m each for M1 and StarHub," the firm said.

On the flip side, a government-mandated IPO for NetLink Trust by April 2018 could potentially boost an upside for Singtel, as this could mean potential capital returns to shareholders.

However, it is still early to call, Maybank said, as the IPO process have just gotten underway.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
