Singtel posts 21% rise in first-quarter profit Aug 13 (Reuters) - Singapore Telecommunications (Singtel) STEL.SI reported a 21% rise in first-quarter underlying net profit on Thursday, driven by strong contributions from its Australian unit Optus and regional associates, including India's Bharti Airtel BRTI.NS.
Singtel, Southeast Asia's largest telecom operator, said underlying net profit was S$831 million ($649.22 million) for the three-month period ended June 30, compared with S$686 million a year earlier.
That beat the Visible Alpha consensus estimate of S$746.1 million.
