We remain upbeat on the TLS’s prospects and expect market sentiment will soon become positive.
It’s reasonable to expect that the Federal Government will decide to write down the value of the NBN, which will lead to higher margins for TLS.

At the current share price, that pencils out to a fully-franked yield of 7%.
