AXIATA GROUP BERHAD
Axiata’s Strategic Turnaround Poised for Market Re-rating
Axiata Group Berhad is undergoing a significant financial transformation, driven by strategic asset monetization and balance sheet repair. HLIB Research maintains a "BUY" rating with a RM2.50 target price, citing Edotco’s potential sale as a near-term catalyst. The divestment of Myanmar tower assets clears hurdles for Edotco’s monetization, with a Khazanah-EPF consortium eyeing Axiata’s 63% stake at a reported USD3.5 billion valuation. Proceeds could reduce holding company debt to near zero, lowering the net debt-to-EBITDA ratio from 3.0x to 1.0x. The XLSmart merger adds USD400 million in immediate cash inflows, further strengthening liquidity. While forex volatility and disposal gains may create short-term noise, Axiata’s long-term financial health appears robust. ##### **Sentiment Analysis** ✅ **Positive Factors** - **Edotco Monetization**: Potential RM6.3 billion proceeds could eliminate holding company debt, saving RM210 million in interest. - **XLSmart Merger**: USD400 million equalization payment boosts liquidity and balance sheet flexibility. - **Debt Reduction**: Net debt-to-EBITDA could drop to 1.0x, enhancing dividend potential. - **Strategic Divestments**: Myanmar exit removes geopolitical risks and unlocks Edotco’s value. ⚠️ **Concerns/Risks** - **Forex Volatility**: Ringgit fluctuations may impact earnings and debt metrics. - **Earnings Noise**: XLSmart deconsolidation and disposal gains could distort short-term results. - **Edotco’s Loss**: RM223 million FY2024 EBIT contribution would be forfeited post-sale. **Rating**: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ --- ##### **Short-Term Reaction** 📈 **Factors Supporting Upside** - Edotco sale confirmation could trigger a re-rating. - Stronger Ringgit reduces USD-denominated debt burden. - Market optimism around debt reduction and improved KPIs. 📉 **Potential Downside Risks** - Delays or failure in Edotco monetization. - FX headwinds dampening EBIT growth. - Disposal-related earnings volatility in 2Q2025. --- ##### **Long-Term Outlook** 🚀 **Bull Case Factors** - Leaner balance sheet enables higher dividends and strategic investments. - Regional telecom consolidation (e.g., XLSmart) drives operational synergies. - Re-rating potential as Axiata transitions to a lower-risk profile. ⚠️ **Bear Case Factors** - Execution risks in asset sales or mergers. - Competitive pressures in core markets (Indonesia, Malaysia). - Macroeconomic shocks impacting regional operations. --- ##### **Investor Insights** | **Aspect** | **Sentiment** | **Key Drivers** | |------------------|------------------------|---------------------------------------------| | **Sentiment** | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Positive) | Edotco sale, debt reduction, XLSmart merger | | **Short-Term** | 📈 Cautiously Optimistic | Monetization progress, forex trends | | **Long-Term** | 🚀 Bullish | Balance sheet repair, re-rating potential | **Recommendations**: - **Growth Investors**: Attractive re-rating potential from asset monetization. - **Income Seekers**: Watch for improved dividend policy post-debt reduction. - **Value Investors**: Undervalued if Edotco sale proceeds as projected.

ES SUNLOGY BERHAD
ES Sunlogy Posts Q3 Profit, RE Segment Shows Promise
ES Sunlogy Bhd reported a net profit of RM2.48 million on revenue of RM75.61 million for Q3 FY2025, marking its first full quarter post-IPO on Bursa Malaysia’s ACE Market.

AEON CREDIT SERVICE (M) BERHAD
AEON Credit Faces Profit Pressure from Digital Bank Losses Through 2026
AEON Credit Service (M) Bhd anticipates a challenging FY2026, with projected ROE declining to 12%–13% due to escalating losses from its digital bank venture, AEON Bank. The joint venture, launched in May 2024, is expected to incur RM80–90 million in losses next year, delaying profitability until FY2029.

However, net profit plummeted 87.6% to RM49.66 million due to a rare quarterly loss in Q4, driven by rising operational costs. Revenue grew 7.55% to RM684.5 million, supported by stronger consumer sales. The stock edged up 0.16% to RM12.44, reflecting mixed investor sentiment.

ATLAN HOLDINGS BHD
Atlan Holdings' Profit Surge Masked by Unsustainable Revenue
Atlan Holdings Bhd (KLSE:ATLAN) reported strong profits, but its stagnant stock price suggests investor skepticism. The company’s earnings growth was heavily driven by a surge in non-operating revenue (RM2.33m to RM71.4m), which lacks sustainability and may distort true operational performance.
