What stands out

Operating margin is thin at 7.35%. Limited cushion if revenue slows or costs rise.

What's changing

Revenue growth slowed to 2.3% in the fiscal year ended Dec 2025, essentially flat.

What deserves caution

Free cash flow declined 49% in the fiscal year ended Dec 2025 versus the year before, cash generation momentum has weakened. Net debt of ₩5.65T represents 5.2x FCF, leverage limits flexibility.

Valuation context

8.76x earnings, 10.15x FCF. A below-average multiple, which usually means the market expects earnings to fall. Check whether the filings support that.

Frequently asked

What is KT Corp. Sponsored ADR's fair value?+

Intrinsiqq's two-stage DCF estimates an intrinsic value of about KRW 27,402.90 per share for KT, projecting its recent free cash flow forward with a growth rate that fades toward a long-run rate and discounting it back to today. Applying a 25% margin of safety gives a more conservative fair-value entry around KRW 20,552.18. At today's KRW 17.32, that puts the stock about 158,115.4% below estimated intrinsic value. The result is sensitive to the growth and discount-rate inputs, so it is best to run conservative, base and optimistic cases. You can adjust all of them yourself with the sliders on the DCF tab.

Is KT Corp. Sponsored ADR a high-quality business?+

KT Corp. Sponsored ADR scores 44 out of 100 on Intrinsiqq's quality score, a weighted blend of 8 metrics each scored 0 to 100, which makes it a mixed business on these measures. Recent fundamentals include a 7.3% operating margin and a 6.6% return on invested capital. The score weighs revenue and free-cash-flow growth, operating margins, return on invested capital, share-count change, and balance-sheet strength, all computed from company filings, not opinion. Because valuation only means something relative to quality, the full metric-by-metric breakdown is on the quality scorecard.

Is KT Corp. Sponsored ADR a good stock to buy right now?+

That depends on valuation and quality together, not either alone. KT currently trades below its estimated intrinsic value and scores 44/100 on quality (mixed). A cheap price is only a bargain if the business is durable, and a premium can be justified by genuine quality, so the two questions, "is it cheap?" and "is it good?", only make sense side by side. Read the valuation against the quality scorecard, run the DCF on your own assumptions, and decide for yourself. This is analysis from company filings, not investment advice.
