StarHub share price in last tango
StarHub share price has suffered an explosive loss of form in recent years, causing much heart pains for long-time investors. But the local telco is not going down without a good fight. In December last year, StarHub rolled out three contract-free SIM only plans (I would have signed up for the $50 SIM plan if not for the fact that I am still bound by contract to M1). Recently, redOne became the latest MVNO to lease network from StarHub, which currently boosts a total of three MVNOs.

Despite the above positive moves, the outlook for StarHub share price is grossly dim. Once the brightest star among the SGX counters, StarHub share price had lost its shine considerably.

As a result, Starhub share price went into a frenzy, surging to a high of $2.00 towards the end of 2018.
StarHub share price was also given further boost on news of M1 being privatized. Many investors thought that the same will likely to happen for StarHub. But investors’ fantasy never materialized. Neither is there a consolidation in the market as Keppel, the major shareholder of M1, did not signal any intention to surrender the telco license of M1. StarHub investors were given a rude awakening. In the aftermath, StarHub share price crashed from $2.00 to the current $1.55.
