Analyst projections of the future price of Chunghwa Telecom stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
The core telecom business is still gaining value from 5G upgrades and faster broadband. In Q2, mobile service revenue rose 3.2%, mobile revenue share reached 41.2%, and subscribers on 1 Gbps broadband plans grew 61% year on year. (Chunghwa Telecom)
Enterprise ICT offers a sizeable growth runway beyond traditional telecom. ICT revenue grew 32% in Q2, and by August the value of new ICT contracts had already exceeded the company’s full-year target. (Chunghwa Telecom, Chunghwa Telecom)
Recent results have exceeded the company’s guidance, with record September earnings and nine-month EPS of NT$4.25. This gives the investment case near-term earnings momentum, although September revenue also benefited from one-off factors. (Chunghwa Telecom)
Costs are rising faster than sales, putting pressure on margins. Q2 operating expenses increased 8.9% against revenue growth of 8.2%, and the operating margin fell to 21.51% from 22.11% a year earlier. (Chunghwa Telecom)
Some recent growth may be hard to repeat: September’s revenue increase was helped by asset revitalisation, an iPhone launch and AI-related semiconductor sales at subsidiaries. ICT growth also depends partly on the timing of large installation and integration projects. (Chunghwa Telecom, Chunghwa Telecom)
The latest approved cash dividend exceeded reported earnings, with a 104.2% payout ratio. If earnings do not grow enough to cover distributions, maintaining that level of dividend could reduce financial flexibility. (Chunghwa Telecom)
