Investors with an interest in Diversified Communication Services stocks have likely encountered both PT Telekomunikasi (TLK) and Chunghwa (CHT). But which of these two stocks presents investors with the better value opportunity right now?

Bloomberg's 2026 Dividend Focus list highlights 14 ‘safer' stocks with free cash flow yields exceeding dividend yields, signaling potential buy opportunities. Top projected net gainers for 2026 include Marvell Technology (MRVL), Nike (NKE), and PT Telekom Indonesia (TLK), with analyst-estimated gains up to 37.98%. Four ‘IDEAL' stocks—Aviva, Sodexo, Danske Bank, and Western Midstream—offer dividends from $1,000 invested greater than their share price, meeting the dogcatcher ‘watch to buy' threshold.

I maintain my "Buy" rating on Telekomunikasi Indonesia, after analyzing its corporate disclosures at recent events. TLK is making tweaks to its wireless segment's products, which should have a positive impact on the company's 2H25 results. It is also seeking to focus more on its core operations and unlock the value of its infrastructure assets.

Here at Zacks, our focus is on the proven Zacks Rank system, which emphasizes earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find great stocks. Nevertheless, we are always paying attention to the latest value, growth, and momentum trends to underscore strong picks.

I rate Telkom Indonesia a buy, with a DCF-based price target of $21.75, offering 39% upside from current levels. ARPU declines from recent price wars are likely short-term, with market growth and convergence trends set to drive a rebound. TLK's digital infrastructure, especially its leading tower network, positions it for accelerated growth as 5G demand rises.

I maintain a Buy rating for PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia Tbk after identifying favorable read-throughs from the latest corporate and industry developments. TLKM recently disclosed a new buyback plan, and it committed to a higher-than-expected distribution payout for this year. The company has also turned the corner with a quarter-on-quarter ARPU expansion in 4Q24; there are signs implying that this positive momentum will be sustained.
