It's the combined business of the old TPG business which merged with Vodafone Australia.
The TPG share price has fallen around 16% over the last six months, though it has risen more than 22% during the last six months, so it has gone through a bit of recovery.
TPG has a number of initiatives and strategic priorities.
For example, it recently launched 'felix', the first telco brand that is powered by 100% renewable electricity.
The business is working on the synergy benefits of bringing TPG and Vodafone Australia together. It's targeting $70 million in 2021 alone, along with organisational integration.
The ASX share is trying to grow its share of converged households. It can sell both mobile and fixed broadband products.
