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.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
