Hyperscaler demand lifts PLDT Global Q1 revenue 26%

Revenue grew 26% as strong hyperscaler demand and new global enterprise deals fueled enterprise growth, while the carrier voice business stabilized with its decline easing to -8% year on year through cost discipline and optimization.

PLDT Global Corporation (PLDT Global), the international business unit of PLDT, reported a strong start to 2026, with total first quarter net service revenues rising 26% year-on-year.

The company’s performance reflects sustained momentum in its enterprise segment, underpinned by strong demand from hyperscalers, strategic partnerships with global digital platforms, and the continued operational resilience of its carrier voice business—collectively reinforcing the overall enterprise performance of the PLDT Group.

Enterprise growth led by hyperscaler demand

Growth in the first quarter was anchored on PLDT Global’s expanding enterprise business, particularly within the hyperscaler segment, where demand for scalable, high-capacity connectivity continues to accelerate.

The company recorded sustained uptake of its International Private Leased Circuit Services (IPLCS) and colocation solutions, as global technology players scale operations across Asia and other key markets.

PLDT Global also strengthened its growth pipeline with strategic contracts from hyperscalers, content providers, and global enterprises. These partnerships are expected to contribute to revenues within 2026, providing further upside for the 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,”
