Axiata:Overseas Expectations

The future earnings of Axiata according to MIDF Research will come from its overseas market, especially Indonesia and Bangladesh.

The two countries contributed 39.3 per cent and 7.6 per cent to Axiata's first-half 2010 revenue, while growing 49.3 per cent and 24.8 per cent year-on-year respectively.

So MIDF is maintaining its call for Axiata due to its diversified exposure and growth potential, especially in Indonesia and Bangladesh.

Boost will particularly come from its associate in Singapore, M1, following Singapore's Infocomm Development Authority announcement that it was allotting additional spectrum to the three existing telecommunications companies and are foregoing the auction of a fourth 3G spectrum.

The maintained buy, target price RM5.30.
