SK Telecom Co., Ltd. share price today

SK Telecom Co., Ltd.'s share price was $31.29 at the close on 4 November 2026. It has been moving sideways for 4 weeks. That is 8.0% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, and it has been behind for 3 weeks running.

A share price tends to move through four phases: moving sideways (stage 1), rising (stage 2), stalling near a high (stage 3) and falling (stage 4). Today SK Telecom Co., Ltd. is in stage 1. The phase helps read everything below.

In the last 52 weeks it traded between $20 and $40, and at that close it sat 56% of the way up from that low.

Over the last 10 years the share price moved −9% while the S&P 500 moved +261%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 16 October 2026. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week.

This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row.

SK Telecom Co., Ltd. declared KRW 830.00 per local share for Jun 2026, and KRW 4,980.00 over the last four reported quarters. It reports in South Korean won, and one US-listed share can stand for several local shares, so we do not set this against the dollar price or show a yield.

SK Telecom Co., Ltd. is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list.

SK Telecom Co., Ltd. earned KRW 466 B of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +459.8% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY25 profit was KRW 375 B. Over 4 years profit has grown −37.2% a year on average. That is 10.7% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned KRW 83.2 B.

Net profit is what is left after every cost, interest and tax. Earnings per share, dividends and book value all grow from it.

1 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

For the full year, FY25 profit was KRW 375 B (−73.0% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed +0.5% on a year earlier and the margin moved +5.3 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +53.1% and revenue −4.3%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra dollar of revenue adds more to profit.

This company reports in South Korean won, not US dollars, so the money charts are left out here. The figures in the text are in that currency (KRW); nothing is converted.

SK Telecom Co., Ltd. reported KRW 4,359 B of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +0.5% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 4 years it has grown 0.5% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at KRW 17,099 B. The last four reported quarters add to KRW 17,058 B.

Revenue is everything the company billed its customers in the period.

FY25 revenue was KRW 17,099 B, −4.7% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew −4.3% on average, against 0.5% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate.

Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew −4.4%, against −2.3% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew −36.4%, against −23.2% a year (rolling over).

SK Telecom Co., Ltd.'s operating margin was 13.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 5.3 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 6.3% and 10.2%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period.

Operating margin is what is left from every KRW 100 of sales after the costs of running the business, before interest and tax. It shows pricing power and cost control.

Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +5.3 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −0.2 points. So the gain came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales.

Over the last 3 years, 480% of SK Telecom Co., Ltd.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in KRW 3,924 B of operating cash against KRW 375 B of profit.

The profit and loss account shows what was earned. The cash-flow statement shows the cash that actually came in. Comparing operating cash flow with profit is one of the best checks that a profit is real.

After KRW 2,207 B of spending on assets, KRW 1,717 B was left over as free cash.

Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year.

Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason.

What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building.

SK Telecom Co., Ltd. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent KRW 7,668 B on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 14.9% of FY25 revenue a year.

Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid. Debtor days: how long customers take to pay. Inventory days: how long stock sits. The cash cycle: the whole loop, in days of sales.

Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn.

Spending on assets: KRW 7,668 B over the last 3 years.

In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns.

SK Telecom Co., Ltd.'s P/E is 22.1×, with too little history to compare. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth.

P/E is the share price divided by a year's profit per share: how many dollars the market pays for each dollar of yearly profit.

In short: there is too little history to say whether the multiple is high or low for this company, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple.

SK Telecom Co., Ltd.'s business is turning around. Profit growth has swung from −73.0% at its low to −36.4%, rising from a low 1 quarters ago, with ROCE steady at 5.2%. This is based on 12 quarters of 3 measures, with some gaps.

Every business is somewhere on a path of getting better or worse, and this section names where. The last 12 quarters of growth in revenue, profit and earnings per share, plus the return the business earns on its capital, are read as lines. Getting worse: the lines are falling. Turning around: a low point has just formed and the last few quarters are rising from it. Getting better: the rise from the low has lasted. Growing steadily: steady growth with healthy returns. Slowing from a peak: still high, but slowing. When the lines disagree the result is mixed; too little history means no reading. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the steady yearly rate that would turn the starting value into the latest one. It is the fairest way to compare growth over different periods. If the 1-year figure is much bigger than the 10-year one, recent growth is running faster than the long-run trend. A dash means there is no figure for that period, or the starting year was a loss, where a growth rate means nothing.

Why it matters: a turn in growth is often where a bigger change starts. The lines say a turn is forming, so the question is whether the next quarters confirm it.

This reading has some gaps: at least one line is short, or the return line is not the quarterly series, so treat it with a little more caution.

Compound annual growth rate (%)

Compound annual growth rate over each period, %. Revenue, profit and EPS come from yearly figures; the stock price row is price growth over the same periods. A dash means no figure for that period, or the starting year was a loss.

SK Telecom Co., Ltd. earned a ROE of 3% in FY25. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 1.3 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a 2.2% net margin and 0.57× asset turnover (sales divided by assets).

Return on equity (ROE) is the profit the business earns on its shareholders’ money. We do not have the full capital split, so ROE is the longest history we can draw here.

Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 2.2% net margin × 0.57× asset turnover × 2.32× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 2.9% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it.

The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 5.9% − 7.2% = −1.3 percentage points. The 7.2% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve.

The 5.9% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY25 at 2.6%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method.

SK Telecom Co., Ltd. has total debt of KRW 10,240 B against shareholder equity of KRW 15,495 B as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.66× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.84 in FY21 to 0.80 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page.

Debt-to-equity shows how much of the business is paid for with borrowed money. Lower is safer, and the direction matters as much as the level.

We have no ownership or short-position figures for SK Telecom Co., Ltd., so this section says so rather than fill the gap. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 1.4 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead.

There is no quarter-by-quarter list of owners here, so we look at short interest: the share of tradable shares held in short positions, which gain if the price falls.

For SK Telecom Co., Ltd., the Z-score is 2.45. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is in the grey area between the two. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure.

The Z-score estimates how far a company is from balance-sheet trouble. Above about 3 is safe; below about 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not used for banks and lenders.

Why it matters: a Z-score of 2.45 is in the grey area, neither clearly safe nor clearly in trouble.
