LG Uplus (Buy, KRW 19,000, +31%) Q2 25 Quick Take: Good acceleration
LG Uplus printed better numbers in Q2 as service revenue and earnings growth accelerated, putting it closer to its 6%-6.5% profit margin target by 2027. Importantly, capex spend continues to moderate which is supportive for cash flow and therefore shareholder remuneration. The company had instituted a KRW 80bn (USD50m) buyback back in July, ahead of our forecasts and translates to 5.7% shareholder remuneration yield on our estimates.

SK Telecom (Neutral, KRW 78,000, +39%) Q2 25 Quick Take: Heavier hit ...
Results were weak as expected because of the churn from April data breach. However, the worst is yet to come since Q3 will be impacted by the 50% discount on monthly tariff that will be applied in August. There is still no news on the fine which creates an overhang although news outlet suggests it could be disclosed as early as this month. For now, we maintain our Neutral stance.

SK Telecom (Neutral, KRW 78,000, +43%) Overall impact of data breach ...
It is now clear that as we thought, the market’s initial response to SKT’s data breach was too sanguine, as earlier today, South Korea's regulator ordered SKT to waive the termination fees following April's cyberattack, and thereafter, SKT agreed to the waiver and announced a Customer Appreciation package and therefore cut 2025 revenue guidance, and said that it now expects EBIT to decline this year too. In this note, we summarise our thoughts and assess the potential financial impact.

South Korean Telcos Q1 25 review: Peers expected to benefit near-term...
Margins are improving as operators execute on cost discipline and shift away from less profitable operations. As capex intensity falls, cash flow is rising and so therefore are dividends or buybacks; LG is expected to announce a buyback in 2H. Thus we are confident of further re-rating and our recent trip reinforced this view. Following the data breach at SKT, near term results are likely to favour KT and LG Uplus. KT remains our preferred pick and is one of our top picks in GEM Telcos.

Bible 1Q25 – Memory: all set for the upcoming HBM run.
Today, we are publishing the Memory section of our 27th Tech Infrastructure Quarterly Bible. The Tech Bible is a must-read for any tech investor, as it summarizes the quarterly earnings reports from the over 140 companies we track, providing an update on our key perspectives and convictions. DRAM COGS increased 9% YoY but was down 15% QoQ, along usual seasonality and with China curbs hurting Samsung’s HBM. The outlook remains strong, with all manufacturers expecting HBM revenues to more than d...

Takeaways from Meetings with the Korean Telcos in Seoul. KT to KRW 105...
We met with all 3 of the Korean Telcos in Seoul over the last couple of days. All 3 remain committed to “Value-up”. However, far the biggest impact is on KT who’s cash flow is dramatically improving. LG is also likely to have a strong year, and we think profitability has turned a corner.
- Chris Hoare
SK Telecom (Buy, KRW 86,000, +65%) Q1 25 Quick Take: Good cost cuttin...
SKT printed decent 1Q25 results with marked improvement in profitability, supported by its ongoing portfolio restructuring. EBITDA and net profit were ahead by 3% and 2% respectively. Cost efficiency programme remains a theme for South Korean operators. For SKT however, this is likely to be overshadowed by last month’s data breach with shares down 11% since then.
- Chris Hoare
LG Uplus (Buy, KRW 19,000, +53%) Q1 25 Quick Take: Decent bottom-line...
LG Uplus printed a solid profit beat, ahead of expectations by 7% on better service revenue and EBITDA inflecting back to growth, as margins were better managed this quarter. We continue to believe its shareholder remuneration is attractive (5.6% dividend yield + potential buyback announcement in 2Q25). We stay Buyers with a KRW 19k price target.

The selloff driven by the US’ unprecedented and perplexing tariff plans has liberated many investors of profits this year. Given the fluidity of market conditions, we highlight a number of domestic-focused stocks such as CENT, CD, DFI, HLA, PANU, PROP, RFMD, SSG and SIE as well as Singapore-focused REITS such as CDLHT, FEHT, FCT, KREIT, LREIT and PREIT. In addition, the MAS’ equity market review should inject much needed liquidity in 2H25. We lower our STI target to 3,720 (previously 4,115).

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 .
- Chris Hoare
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.
