Feb 19 (Reuters) - Singapore Telecommunications STEL.SI reported a 22% rise in its third-quarter underlying net profit on Wednesday, boosted by strong contributions from its Australian telecom unit Optus.
Southeast Asia's largest telecom firm said its underlying net profit for the quarter ended December 31 was S$680 million ($506.74 million), compared with S$559 million a year earlier.
That was largely in line with the Visible Alpha consensus of S$678.8 million.
