Shares of China Telecom Corp. surged 5.16% on Tuesday, outperforming the broader market, as investors cheered the robust growth in China's telecommunications services sector during the January-August period.

According to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China's telecom services revenue rose 2.7% year-over-year to 1.17 trillion yuan ($164 billion) in the first eight months of 2024. The growth was driven by a significant 11% increase in revenue from emerging businesses of major telecom providers, including China Telecom, China Mobile and China Unicom.
