The key swing is that FY26 delivery is being driven less by the Singapore consumer mobile tape and more by Optus and associates, which are higher beta to operating execution than to domestic price competition. The stock is also already trading near its 52-week high, so the near-term driver is whether momentum in operating company EBIT and capital returns stays credible.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Associates and portfolio actions are doing heavy lifting. <\/strong>1H FY26 net profit was S$3.40B, boosted by net exception gains largely from selling a partial stake in Airtel and the Intouch Gulf merger, while underlying net profit rose 14% to S$1.35B.
