  • Mobile remained a key earnings driver for Telstra in FY26, with the telco yesterday announcing a 3.2% increase in attributable net profit to $2.24 billion and 3% growth in EBITDA after leases to $8.2 bn, despite a 0.9% decline in total revenue to $23.4 bn.

  • Telstra is seeing “very strong demand signals” for its digital infrastructure assets, with chief executive Vicki Brady pointing to an accelerating sales pipeline for capacity on its intercity Aura Network.

  • Telstra says it is moving beyond experimentation with artificial intelligence and is increasingly optimising technology, customer service and network operations around where AI can deliver measurable returns.

  • Telstra is looking to 5G Standalone and its network as a product (NaaP) strategy to create clearer differentiation between premium and lower-priced mobile offerings as growth increasingly shifts towards prepaid, wholesale and sub-brand services.
