KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 25 (Bernama) -- Telekom Malaysia Bhd’s (TM) share price surged in the early trade on Tuesday after posting an encouraging third quarter (3Q) result, driven by growth in data services and data centres amid positive outlook.

At 11.18 am, TM share price rose 15 sen or 2.07 per cent to RM7.40 per share, with 2.03 million shares changing hands.

The group posted a higher net profit of RM686.27 million in 3Q 2025, compared to RM465.04 million in 3Q 2024, while revenue also increased by 2.6 per cent to RM2.99 billion from RM2.92 billion previously.
