TELECOM | PLDT Global posts 26% Q1 revenue growth on hyperscaler demand
LDT Global reported sustained demand for its International Private Leased Circuit Services (IPLCS) and colocation offerings as technology companies expanded operations across Asia and other markets.
PLDT Global Corp., the international business arm of PLDT, posted a 26% year-on-year increase in net service revenues in the first quarter of 2026, driven by growing demand from hyperscalers and enterprise customers.
The company said its enterprise business led growth during the quarter, supported by higher demand for connectivity services from hyperscalers, strategic partnerships with global digital platforms, and continued stability in its carrier voice business.
PLDT Global reported sustained demand for its International Private Leased Circuit Services (IPLCS) and colocation offerings as technology companies expanded operations across Asia and other markets.
The company also secured new contracts with hyperscalers, content providers, and multinational enterprises that it expects will contribute additional revenue later this year.
“Our continued growth in serving hyperscalers and global digital platforms reflects not only the strength of PLDT Global’s network infrastructure and strategic geographic positioning, but also our unwavering commitment to delivering world-class, reliable connectivity solutions,” said Albert V. Villa-Real, president and CEO of PLDT Global.
“We remain focused on scaling our enterprise business, deepening strategic partnerships, and driving operational excellence—ensuring we deliver sustainable growth and long-term value for our stakeholders while enabling the next wave of global digital innovation,” he added.
The company also said the decline in its carrier voice business eased to 8% year over year, which it attributed to ongoing cost discipline and operational optimization.
PLDT Global said the performance strengthens the enterprise business of the broader PLDT Group as demand for high-capacity connectivity and digital infrastructure continues to grow.
