Interlink Telecom Public Company Limited (ITEL.BK)

Q3 2026

ITEL wins big USO 3 contracts, but near-term profit still weak

  • USO 3 contract wins ITEL, through joint ventures, won three USO 3 regions worth about 3.41 billion baht. This locks in long-term revenue, but the work is low-margin and revenue starts mostly in 2027, so it barely helps near-term profit.

    This is the main new event driving the stock and explains the recent price jump.

  • Hyperscaler revenue expected in Q3 ITEL expects to start booking revenue from hyperscaler clients in Q3, with 600-700 million baht more work coming. This supports the full-year revenue target of 3.6 billion baht and shows new demand beyond government projects.

    It is a new demand source that could lift revenue and diversify away from low-margin government work.

  • Near-term earnings still weak Despite the contract wins, analysts say ITEL will likely post a loss in Q3 and Q4 2026 because the new work is low-margin and revenue recognition is delayed. The profit boost is pushed to 2027.

    It is the main counterweight: the good news does not fix current losses, so the stock may stay volatile.

  • Analyst upgrade on 2027 outlook Asia Plus Securities raised its 2027 profit forecast for ITEL from 381 million to 729 million baht and lifted its target price to 11.80 baht, citing certainty of five-year revenue from the new contracts.

    It shows professional investors see the contract wins as a real long-term value driver, not just a one-day pop.

China Mobile H1 Profit Falls 6.3% on Weak Telecom Revenue

  • H1 profit drops 6.3% as telecom service revenue slides China Mobile's first-half net profit fell 6.3% to 78.93 billion yuan, with operating revenue down 1.1% and telecom services revenue down 5.7%. This is the core earnings miss that pressures the stock, as the main business shrinks and profit declines.

    This is the primary new fundamental event directly hitting 600941.CG's earnings and valuation.

  • Computing and international revenue grow strongly Computing services revenue rose 14% to 52.9 billion yuan and international market revenue jumped 30.1% to 18.2 billion yuan. These new growth areas show China Mobile is diversifying beyond traditional telecom, offering a partial offset to the profit decline.

    It highlights the bright spots that could support future earnings and investor sentiment.

  • Operating cash flow jumps 37% and dividend maintained Net operating cash flow rose 37% to 114.85 billion yuan, and the company plans to distribute 25.1 yuan per 10 shares. Strong cash generation and a steady dividend provide a safety net for investors, even as reported profit falls.

    Cash flow and dividend are key supports for the stock price amid earnings weakness.

  • TRUE stake sale fear weighs on sentiment China Mobile may sell up to 1% of its 7.81% stake in Thailand's TRUE, sparking a 3.6% drop in TRUE shares. While the sale is small and for portfolio management, it signals potential capital reallocation and adds minor uncertainty for China Mobile investors.

    It is a new capital action by China Mobile that could affect its investment income and market perception.
