Telstra Group, Australia’s largest telecommunications company, has posted a strong set of results for its fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, reporting a 31% increase in annual profit driven by robust growth in its mobile division.

The company also announced a $1 billion share buyback (approximately US$654 million), signaling management’s confidence in its earnings trajectory and balance sheet strength.

The telecom giant’s net profit rose to $2.34 billion, up from $1.79 billion the year before.
