May 21 (Reuters) - Singapore Telecommunications STEL.SI reported a 12.1% rise in annual underlying profit on Thursday, driven by strong contributions from India's Bharti Airtel BRTI.NS and other regional associates.

Southeast Asia's largest telecom operator said underlying net profit was S$2.77 billion ($2.17 billion) for the year ended March 2026, compared with S$2.47 billion in the previous year.

That missed the Visible Alpha consensus estimate of S$2.82 billion.
