Simply Wall St · 1d ago

PCCW (SEHK:8) is back in focus after recent trading left the share price at HK$5.30, with total return over the past year rising 6.6% and the past 3 years showing a very large gain.

Short term, PCCW’s share price has drifted lower, with the 7 day return down 2.1% and the year to date share price return down 4.3%. However, the 1 year and 3 year total shareholder returns of 6.6% and roughly 84.7% point to momentum that has been built over a longer stretch.

Scan beyond PCCW’s recent 3 year surge and line it up against other potential movers in a hand picked list of 612 high quality undiscovered gems, which also pair strong fundamentals with under the radar momentum.

PCCW now trades at HK$5.30 while analyst and intrinsic estimates point higher, which raises a simple issue: How far does fair value sit from today’s price after this multi year surge?

Most Popular Narrative: 9% Undervalued

PCCW’s most followed valuation story puts fair value at HK$5.80, a touch above the HK$5.30 last close. This leaves a modest gap that depends on how much weight you give to its media and connectivity growth plans versus current losses.

Accelerated enterprise demand for digital transformation, high-speed fiber, and 5G mobile services, driven by remote/hybrid work and business modernization across Asia, has already fueled 4% growth in HKT's revenues and is likely to drive further top-line revenue and margin improvement as digital infrastructure adoption deepens.

See why 2 investors see PCCW as 9% undervalued.

Result: Fair Value of HK$5.80 (UNDERVALUED)

Still, the PCCW story can change quickly if competition in OTT streaming squeezes Viu harder than expected, or if high infrastructure spending continues to pressure free cash flow.
