PLDT Inc. (NYSE: PHI) is a Philippine-headquartered telecommunications and digital services provider operating through three segments: Wireless, Fixed Line, and Others. Its offerings span mobile, fixed-line, broadband, enterprise data center and cloud services, IT outsourcing, gaming support, content distribution, and handset sales, serving residential customers, SMEs, large corporations, and the public sector. The company was incorporated in 1928 and is headquartered in Makati City.
Listed on the NYSE as an ADR since 1953, PLDT is classified within the Communication Services sector under Wireless Telecommunication Services. The broader Philippine telecom industry is a duopoly alongside Globe Telecom, which gives incumbent operators like PLDT entrenched market share in mobile and fixed-line services but also subjects them to heavy capital expenditure requirements for network expansion.
Beyond core connectivity, PLDT has positioned itself as a diversified digital and ICT player, offering cybersecurity, multi-cloud, AI, and data analytics solutions to enterprise clients. This reflects a broader industry trend in which traditional telcos are evolving into integrated digital infrastructure providers to offset slowing voice and SMS revenues.
