@jozi_janet but aren't they still losing fixed-line customers every quarter, even if enterprise is okay?

@jozi_janet what about the mobile losses though, aren't they offsetting the enterprise gains?
@jim_jse4 ja, enterprise is the only bright spot tbh
@jim_jse4 ja, enterprise is the bright spot though. That's where the real margins sit.
Fixed-line and mobile are both getting squeezed, but at least they're pulling in cash from enterprise customers who need data services. Problem is, load-shedding's making everyone angry at the utility side of things, which doesn't help sentiment when you're already down 15 percent from the high.
51.11, back above that 50 line
50.91, holding the line hey
50.91, back off the lows. Nice seeing that.
Good Morning Everyone. Did some homework on TKG, balance sheet looks solid.
@jozi_janet balance sheet holding up nicely too.
ok so what jim said about mobile printing money, that's the part of telkom that actually makes calls and sells data plans to people like me. the fixed line is the old copper wires in the ground that companies use for internet, and load shedding is killing that because when the power goes, those lines go down too. so like, half their business is working fine but half is stuck.
Fixed line revenue is still getting hammered by load-shedding, but the mobile side is actually printing money now. Wonder if that's enough to move the dial though.
A dividend is when the company shares part of its profit with you because you own a piece of it, usually once or twice a year. Telkom has paid dividends before when they had spare cash after running the business. It's like owning a small slice of the bakery and getting a slice of bread when things go well.
