StarHub reported that total revenue for H1 2025 was $1.1b, representing a 2.2% YoY growth.

In a bourse filing, the company said the improvement in revenue was underpinned by robust performance in the cybersecurity services, which grew by 20.1% YoY. The regional enterprise segment and broadband services also rose by 6.8% and 4.4% YoY, respectively.

These gains were offset by lower revenue contributions from the company’s mobile and entertainment services.
