For November, Closed price 3.13 telecom revenue wasRmb106.6 billion, an increase of 3.2% year-on-year. Expected P/E (X) 10.1 For the first eleven months of 2019, the three telecommunications companies realized fixed network revenue of Rmb383.8 billion, a year-on-year increase of Dividend yield (%) 3.9 9.4%, which was an increase of 0.1 percentage point from first ten months; the 52 week high 4.41 first eleven months mobile network revenue was Rmb820.5 billion, a decrease 52 week low 2.91 of 3.2 %, but was already0.3 percentage points better than in the first ten months. 14RSI 55 On the other hand, China Mobile (0941) announced that there was a net increase of 2.96 million mobile customers in November, the growth rate accelerated; of which 4G customers had a net increase of 3.97 million monthly. In contrast, China Telecom (0728) slowed down in November, with a monthly increase of 1.86 million mobile subscribers, of which 4G subscribers increased by 1.93 million. On the other hand, China Unicom (0762) had a net reduction of 860,000 mobile billing subscribers in November, but 4G subscribers still saw a net increase of 1.83 million. In fact, the three mainland telecom operators share price fell to recent year low in early December, as investors concerned the impact from the implementation of mobile number portable. However, China telecom industry revenue improved in Oct and Nov, especially for the mobile service. It might reflect that mobile service price war has been cool down. Hence, we are not too bearish of mobile bumber portable impact on the telecom operator revenue and profit in 2020. For 5G business, since it is still at initial stage, the revenue impact in 2020 will not be too substantial. On the other hand, since all three telecom operators will adopt prudent attitude toward handset subsidies as well as 5G capex, we believe that it will not have much burden on their profit and balance sheet. Overall speaking, we believe that 2020 is a flat year for China telecom operators. However, telecom operators such as China Mobile (0941) and China Telecom (0728) valuation below 11x FY19 prospective P/E, valuation is not demanding. Of which, our preference remain on China Telecom, given its higher profit growth as well as anticipated synergy from the co-ordination on 5G network with China Unicom.
