KT stock (ISIN US48268K1016) was trading at USD 19.25 on the NYSE at 1:21 p.m. ET on September 28, 2026, down 2.31 percent from the prior session's USD 19.70. The market is weighing a second-quarter revenue decline against KT's broader communications and technology operations.
Revenue fell in Q2 2026
KT's Q2 2026 revenue reached KRW 6.6799 trillion, down 10.10 percent from the year-earlier period, according to ChoiceStock in a September 3, 2026 results report. The period ended June 30, 2026, giving investors a recent operating benchmark rather than a full-year comparison.
Net income for the quarter was KRW 480.1 billion, down 34.50 percent from KRW 733.3 billion a year earlier, while earnings per share declined to KRW 1,830 from KRW 2,820, the same report said. The combination points to weaker top-line performance and lower profitability despite the company's diversified telecom, media, cloud and information technology businesses.
