EM & Japanese Telcos have more DC capacity than those in other regions. In this short note, we look at the current and future Data Center (DC) capacity for the telcos in our coverage as well as the potential valuation for these assets, in an attempt to contextualise this exposure.

South Korean Telcos Q3 25 review: Stable; expect new KT CEO to be ann...
Both KT and LG Uplus did better at SKT’s expense, with the latter impacted by Q2’s outflow and 50% discount offered in August as a result of April’s cyberattack. The search for KT’s new CEO narrowed to 3 candidates – 2 internal and 1 external; we should expect to hear the appointment by March’s AGM. Although this creates some risk, KT remains one of our Top Picks in GEM Telcos for its exposure to Enterprise and value-up dynamic.

EM Telco earnings season was extremely strong, and with 8 of our 10 picks reporting this month, our picks rose 6.8% on average in November and are now up 80% YTD. With Singtel having strongly outperformed, Bharti we swap the latter in for the former; this note also includes key news & other thoughts, to try to help investors generate alpha within the EM Telco space.

KT printed a decent set of results; however, we think this was overshadowed by the search for its next CEO and news of the hacking incidents which have plagued the industry. Although the size of breach is on a much smaller scale compared to SK Telecom, ongoing investigations remain an overhang.

LG Uplus delivered a strong set of results as trends improved across the board. Service revenue topped expectations by 1%. The company recognised a one-off voluntary retirement cost which bodes well for future margins. Excluding the impact, underlying EBITDA would accelerate.

Global EM Telcos When does Digital drive a re-rating? Upgrade VEON, V...
We analyze how much revenue EM Telcos are generating from digital businesses, and therefore at what point they are likely to make the transition from being “Telcos with digital assets” to “Digital first”. We use this to predict when the market is likely to re-rate those exposed, and as a result make multiple upgrades across our GEM Telcos.

SK Telecom (Buy, KRW 78,000, +48%) Q3 25 Quick Take: Dividend cut
Numbers were in-line with expectations, but shares fell slightly today due to the absence of dividends this quarter, implying a dividend cut for the year. Nevertheless, with the overhang on the data breach fine removed and recovery now in progress, we think SKT’s valuation is compelling for investors who can look past this year. We therefore stay Buyers with a KRW 78k price target.
