KT Corp (Buy, TP: USD 24/ADR, +106%) Final CEO candidate announced

Today, KT announced its current President, Yun Kyoung Lim, as the final CEO candidate. He was selected out of the final four candidates – two current KT executives and two former ones – after filtering from the initial list of 33 internal and external candidates. This came after KT’s current CEO, Ku Hyeon-mo, decision to step down from the selection process in February following pressure from one of its stakeholders.

South Korean Telcos Takeaways from Meetings with the Korean Telcos in Seoul

We met with all 3 of the Korean Telcos in Seoul over the last couple of days. All 3 are committed to engaging with and following the government “Value-up” programme, with the industry having started to become more shareholder friendly 2-3 years ago. We see the potential for higher industry returns (lower capex, opex) as well as better shareholder remuneration. Change will take time, but patient investors are set to do well from Korea as the market finally finds its place in the sun we think. Top pick remains KT. Key takeaways below.

South Korean Telcos Q4 23 review: EBITDA improved despite softer service revenue; Enterprise continues to drive growth

South Korean operators were slower across the board at service revenue on softer Fixed growth, although mobile and Enterprise kept pace. Both LG and SKT saw an acceleration in Enterprise this quarter as the former opened a new DC in Q4. Both SKT and KT saw improvements in EBITDA while LG was pressured by higher labour costs.

Telefonica (Buy, €4.50, +7%) Q1 24: Digi and downsizing drives potential upside

Telefonica’s Q1 results leave us feeling more confident about its longer-term growth trajectory and believe that there could be further upside to estimates from the new Digi wholesale agreement and consensus fully factoring in the headcount reduction deal.

CityFibre & Three UK Can they get their deals done by year-end?

Perhaps two of the most significant questions facing the UK telecoms market this year are i) whether the Vodafone/ Three merger will go through, and ii) whether the altnets can be successful operationally and have access on ongoing funding.

SATS: model update

This note covers updates to the model following consolidated EchoStar results. We increased service revenue and EBITDA. Our free cash flow is up very modestly. The company has five to seven months to raise capital. We updated our valuation to $95 / share. We will have another update out once we get the Dish, DBS & Hughes 10-Qs.
