Biggest thing to watch: the price is not yet in a clear uptrend, so timing is the risk more than the business. ## What is the SK Telecom Co., Ltd. share price today? SK Telecom Co., Ltd.'s share price was $30.52 at the close on 3 November 2026. It has been moving sideways for 4 weeks. That is 10.2% 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. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $20 and $40, and at that close it sat 52% of the way up from that low. Over the last 10 years the share price moved −11% while the S&P 500 moved +255%, 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. ## What dividend does SK Telecom Co., Ltd. pay? 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. ## Which stock lists is SK Telecom Co., Ltd. on? 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. ## Is SK Telecom Co., Ltd. profitable? 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. 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. ## How much revenue does SK Telecom Co., Ltd. make, and is it growing? 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. 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). 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. ## How much of its sales does SK Telecom Co., Ltd. keep? 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. 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. ## Is SK Telecom Co., Ltd.'s profit turning into cash? 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. 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. 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. ## Where does SK Telecom Co., Ltd.'s cash go? 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. 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. 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. ## What is SK Telecom Co., Ltd.'s P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? SK Telecom Co., Ltd.'s P/E is 21.6×, 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. 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. ## Is the SK Telecom Co., Ltd. business getting better or worse? 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. 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. ## How much does SK Telecom Co., Ltd. earn on its capital? SK Telecom Co., Ltd. earned a ROE of 3% in FY25. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 2.4 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). 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: 3.9% − 6.3% = −2.4 percentage points. The 6.3% 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 3.9% 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. ## Does SK Telecom Co., Ltd. have too much debt? 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. 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. ## What is the SK Telecom Co., Ltd. shareholding pattern? 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. ## How far is SK Telecom Co., Ltd. from balance-sheet trouble? For SK Telecom Co., Ltd., the Z-score is 2.32. 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. Why it matters: a Z-score of 2.32 is in the grey area, neither clearly safe nor clearly in trouble. ## How does SK Telecom Co., Ltd. rank in its industry? There is no score against its industry: SK Telecom Co., Ltd. is not among the largest members shown in this industry comparison for Telecom Services. The score ranks a company within its industry: each measure is scored against the other members. Without that group there is no score, so none is shown. ## Which companies is SK Telecom Co., Ltd. compared with?
