We transfer coverage of GEK Terna, with a BUY and a SOTP-derived price target (PT) of EUR 27.0/share, implying 48% upside from the current levels. The group, starting in 2024, has transformed from a fairly stable to an aggressive future earnings growth profile, as it exited renewables and jumped on the concessions bandwagon by clinching two contracts to run Greece’s flagship motorways, the Attiki Odos and the Egnatia Odos. On our estimates, GEK’s EBITDA and net earnings will post CAGRs of 14% an...

South Korean Telcos Q4 24 review: Value up starting to pay dividends
Although growth is slowing, cash flow trends continue to improve on greater discipline on opex and capex. The industry is increasingly giving this back in the form of higher dividends or buybacks which KT has already instituted and LG guided buybacks of up to 20% of net profits .

KT reported a decent set of underlying results if excluding the one-off costs related to its early retirement programme which was well flagged earlier. Service revenue also recovered back to growth as Enterprise accelerated even despite the ongoing restructuring of less profitable business

SK Telecom (Buy, KRW 86,000, +54%) Q4 24 Quick Take: Softer mobile re...
SKT reported softer numbers against consensus, while its net profit benefited from a one-off equity valuation gain. Across its segments, SK Broadband delivered better trends, but mobile service revenue was soft, and EBITDA was impacted by a jump in labour costs. We expect costs to ease and margins to improve as SKT undergoes cost efficiencies and strips out less profitable businesses. Dividend payout was in-line with expectations if excluding the one-offs.
SK Telecom Co Ltd: 1 director

South Korean Telcos Outlook 2025: Value-up should be flowing
2024 contained a few surprises for the telcos, with the year starting with “Value-up” and ending with political chaos. Value-up is likely to have the longer lasting effects we think, and as most exposed and with the best strategy, and despite rising 33% in 2024, KT remains our top pick.

Global EM Telcos & Towers Themes and Top picks for 2025
We remain constructive on EM Telcos despite the major stocks generally performing well through 2023 and 2024. As the long telco cycle inflects, and the industry consolidates, conditions still seem ripe for GDP+ revenue growth and rising ROIC we think. In this note, we run through the themes we think investors should follow in 2025. In a separate note, also published today we introduce the NSR EM Telco – Top 8, our top EM picks in the Telco and Towers space.
