Research reports

Mirae Asset Securities · January 15, 2026KT (030200 KS/Buy) Additional costs and subscriber churn to remain limited

Maintains a Buy rating on KT with a target price of W63,000, arguing that subscriber churn and cost impacts from a recent cybersecurity incident should be limited while service revenue and subsidiary earnings (notably KT Cloud and KT Estate) continue to grow. The report highlights ongoing cost-efficiency measures, ample free cash flow, and stronger shareholder‑return policies as drivers of structural profitability improvement, but flags near‑term margin pressure from one‑off incident‑related costs as a key risk.
