0724 GMT - SK Telecom could post a sharp earnings recovery with its operating profit margin likely to top 11% this year for the first time in 13 years, says Jeong Won-seok of Shinyoung Securities. The South Korean telecom operator's results last year were weighed by one-off factors, including a 50% cut in telecommunications charges following a data breach and workforce restructuring in 2H 2025, the analyst says in a note. Jeong expects SK Telecom's operating profit to jump 80% to 1.931 trillion won this year, with its operating profit margin widening to 11.1% in 2026 from 6.3% in 2025. That would mark its first operating profit margin above 11% since 2013, he notes.
