However, despite the share price recovery Irnest Kaplan, MD of Kaplan Equity Analysts believes there are still too many uncertainties in Telkom to start getting too carried away.<\/p>\n

Group operating revenue decreased by 1.7% to R32.501 billion (2012: R33.079 billion).<\/p>\n
According to Telkom, for a considerable time the price at which its shares have been trading at has been significantly lower than the net asset value (NAV) of a Telkom share.<\/p>\n
