Singtel net profit soars 317% to $2.9b in Q1

The data centre business is expected to grow in FY2026.

Singtel reported a net profit of $2.9b for the quarter ended 30 June 2025, up 317% from $690m a year earlier.

The telecommunications giant attributed the sharp rise primarily to exceptional gains of $2.20b, mainly from the partial sale of its stake in Airtel and the Intouch-Gulf Energy merger.

Underlying net profit rose 14% (17% on a constant currency basis), supported by stronger earnings from Optus, NCS, Airtel, and AIS.

Group CEO Yuen Kuan Moon said the company is on track to meet its growth targets under the Singtel28 plan.

He also expects the data centre business to perform well in FY2026 with new facilities opening in Thailand and Singapore.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
