Singapore's Keppel posted a 5% rise in its full-year underlying profit on Wednesday, as earnings for its connectivity segment were boosted by strong demand for digital infrastructure required for artificial intelligence-based services. Annual net profit for Keppel's connectivity arm, which operates its data centre business, rose nearly 45%. Data centres house computer servers and equipment that companies use to process and store data.
