The TPG Telecom trading update was in line with Macquarie’s expectations, with up-sellling opportunities in consumer and enterprise encouraging, albeit at an early stage.
While the company would not comment on the intentions of major shareholders, the broker believes JVCo (Vodafone/Hutchison), a holder of 28%, is unlikely to be a seller below $7.72, given the amount of debt inherited from the merger of Vodafone Australia and TPG Telecom.
Macquarie retains an Outperform rating and lowers the target to $7.50 from $8.00.
