what happened
According to TradingView, SK Telecom's revenue for the period rose 13.1% year on year to KRW 4,497.3 billion. Operating income reached KRW 552.3 billion, compared with KRW 48.4 billion a year earlier.
The gains were supported by the build-out of AI infrastructure, with demand for AI data centers and cloud orders helping to fund expansion plans. However, the shift to GPUaaS contracts weighed on AI data-center revenue compared with the previous quarter.
why it matters
For investors, the key point is the sharp turnaround in profitability, with operating income up roughly 11.4 times. Still, the quarter-on-quarter drop in AI data-center revenue shows that the move to a new contract model may affect individual business lines.
