Sk Telecom ( (SKM) ) has provided an announcement.
On February 4, 2026, SK Telecom Co., Ltd. reported a planned disposal of treasury shares tied to the initial exercise of stock options that were approved at its 2022 general meeting of shareholders. The company intends to dispose of up to 195,245 common treasury shares at an exercise price of KRW 56,860 per share, representing an estimated aggregate disposal value of KRW 11.1 billion, over the period from February 12, 2026 to March 25, 2027, via over-the-counter transfers to 10 current and retired executive officers. As of this disclosure, 21,743 stock options have been exercised by one retired executive officer, resulting in 2,465 shares confirmed for transfer using a settlement method that compensates the price difference with treasury shares, while 173,502 exercisable options remain unexercised and may alter the final number of shares disposed. The transaction, which does not require a separate board resolution under applicable Korean capital markets regulations, gradually reduces SK Telecom’s treasury share holdings (currently 1,805,440 common shares, or 0.84% of outstanding shares) and clarifies the scope and mechanics of executive stock option exercises for investors and other stakeholders.

Spark’s Take on SKM Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, SKM is a Neutral.
The score is anchored by solid underlying financial performance and cash generation, but is held back by the earnings-call-driven deterioration in profitability (negative net income and dividend suspension) and very overbought technical conditions. Valuation is neutral-to-slightly expensive given the P/E, partially balanced by a moderate dividend yield.
