SK Telecom's third-quarter 2026 revenue was up 13.1%, with operating income up 1040%. The very strong growth rates were a result of the third-quarter 2025 revenue and profits being heavily affected by the cybersecurity attack.
Telecom leads the South Korean wireless telecom market with around a 45% share, and this gives it some scale efficiency benefits.
SK Telecom has aggressive investment targets for AI, but AI revenue and profit streams are uncertain.
