Financials
The following is a comparative financial analysis of the three companies:
Profitability:
As can be seen SingTel has the highest margins whereas Starhub has the highest profitability ratios. However, SingTel has contributions from associates above the EBITDA line, so this skews the results.
Leverage & Multiples:
SingTel has the strongest leverage ratios. However it is also the most expensive, compared to M1 which is the cheapest stock, and has the highest yield.

Don't you think M1 target market is only Singapore, not much room for expansion?
I think Singtel is a long term play, it has invested in countries that has low % of phone users, ie india, pakistan etc. So they are betting that as their countries grow, more people will be afford to own a phone in future.
BORING.
thank you for the info
