ASX Telecom Industry: A Dive Into Superloop Limited (ASX:SLC)
Superloop Limited (ASX:SLC), a AU$536.94M small-cap, is a telco company operating in an industry which has experienced slower top-line growth in the past decade. However, the usage of telco services has been growing at a rapid rate, enabling telco companies to maintain their price by offering more differentiated services. Technological changes such as improvements in software and network efficiencies are the key driver to meet these changing consumer needs. Telco analysts are forecasting for the entire industry, a somewhat weaker growth of 0.47% in the upcoming year , and an overall negative growth rate in the next couple of years. Unsuprisingly, this is below the growth rate of the Australian stock market as a whole. Is now the right time to pick up some shares in telco companies? Today, I will analyse the industry outlook, as well as evaluate whether Superloop is lagging or leading its competitors in the industry. View our latest analysis for Superloop

Next Steps:
Superloop’s industry-beating future is a positive for shareholders, indicating they’ve backed a fast-growing horse. However, this higher growth prospect is also reflected in the company’s price, suggested by its higher PE ratio relative to its peers. If Superloop has been on your watchlist for a while, now may not be the best time to enter into the stock since it is trading at a higher valuation compared to other telco companies.
