The global business unit of a telco in the country is looking to sustain stronger growth in 2026 after posting a solid first-quarter performance, supported by rising demand from hyperscalers, global digital platforms, and multinational enterprises.
PLDT Global Corp., the international business arm of PLDT, said its total net service revenues climbed 26 percent year-on-year in the first quarter, driven mainly by growth in its enterprise business.
PLDT Global said demand remained particularly strong in the hyperscaler segment, where global technology companies continue to require scalable, high-capacity, and reliable connectivity.
The company also recorded steady demand for its International Private Leased Circuit services and colocation solutions as digital firms expanded operations across Asia and other key markets.
PLDT Global said it expects additional growth throughout 2026 after securing strategic contracts with hyperscalers, content providers, and multinational enterprises. These partnerships are expected to contribute to revenues during the year and provide further upside to the company’s business.
“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 Villa-Real, president and chief executive officer of PLDT Global.
Villa-Real said the company remains focused on expanding its enterprise business, deepening strategic partnerships, and improving operational efficiency to support long-term growth.
“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 said.
With its strong first-quarter performance and growing pipeline of enterprise contracts, PLDT Global expects to maintain its growth momentum for the rest of 2026 as demand for international connectivity and digital infrastructure continues to accelerate.
