Earnings to remain intact on 5G dual-network model

PETALING JAYA: Kenanga Research remains cautiously optimistic on the implementation of the new 5G dual-network model and expects the earnings and dividends for mobile players to remain intact after it takes effect.

The research house noted that its cautious optimism is based on a more accommodative regulatory environment following the withdrawal of government intervention, healthy competition between two networks that will result in optimal wholesale and retail prices, and enhanced network roll-out efficiencies for the second 5G network.
