大摩指，内地通缩格局是传统电信业ARPU增长的主要阻力，对公司利润、现金流的强调，可能抑制新 业务收入的增长，这一情况在2025年已经得到验证，料2026年也呈现类似趋势。尽管2025年第一季度出 现了DeepSeek，但由于收入规模有限以及政府端采用速度较慢，该行认为中资电信商收入的上行空间 有限。该行预测行业服务收入在2026年将增长1.7%(略高于2025年的0.9%)，总净利润增长3%，主要由 效率提升推动。该行认为国企/政府的AI采用可能成为三大电信商(中国移动(00941)、中国电信(00728)和 中国联通(00762))的潜在上行催化剂。 该行指中资电讯股获重估的驱动因素有限：(1)中国收益率不太可能进一步下行; (2)增长显著放缓至低个 位数的利润增长，派息比率提升的空间也缩窄。该行预期中资电讯H股在2026年的目标股息率为6-7%， 并继续偏好排序：中国电信>联通>中国移动。 根据该行经济团队的预测，内地2026年将持续面临通缩，十年期国债收益率触底，人民币汇率走强。美 国在2026年上半年将进一步降息，该行将大中华电信营运商评级下调至"中性"。 该行指，中资电讯商多年的上升周期驱动因素— ...

运营商财经网 吴碧慧/文 据知情人士独家透露，在2025年前11个月中，中国电信政企市场中标份额只有4家省公司同比提升，还 有27家省公司同比下滑。 这一情况实在是不容乐观！但其实也在意料之中。 据了解，这4家同比提升的省公司其实增长趋势也不算明显，而27家省公司同比下滑较严重的已下降超 10%。总体上，大家政企市场中标份额增长都陷入瓶颈。 其实这两年来，运营商政企市场发展十分严峻，为了中标甚至出现"地板价"，这一价格战也着实伤人， 导致利润空间进一步压缩。与此同时，即使运营商中标后也面临着呆账、坏账风险，因为政企客户回款 周期长、流程复杂、多变，三大运营商近年坏账规模仍在进一步扩大。 可见，当前政企市场已进入了增长乏力期，不进行变革还不如不投标。也因此，中国电信政企市场中标 情况下滑严重就不意外了。 运营商财经网通信业务部主任刘庆表示，当前政企市场竞争已进入白热化阶段，但大家如果仍不做出改 变，比如减少"价格战"、专注核心技术研发、谨慎审核项目风险等，今后发展还将更艰难。 （责任编辑：吴碧慧） ...
