KT Corporation

KT — scored out of ten from its own filings

Figures as at 2024-12-31, reported in KRW. The newest fact in the filings is dated 2025-02-13, 557 days ago. Nothing on this page is advice.

The five scores

Dimension	What it asks	Score
Quality	How much of the revenue is really kept — and what did it take to earn it?	3.55
Valuation	What does the price ask for what the company earns, owns and pays out?	0.5
Durability	How predictable is the revenue, and how much of it is already committed?	0.5
Resilience	Can the balance sheet absorb a bad year?	3.04
Growth	Is the business getting bigger, and is it getting more profitable?	1.05

A dimension reading not measured means the filing does not carry the figures it needs. It is left out of the total rather than scored as though it were bad.

What each measure said

A dimension's score is the weighted average of these. Each links to the page explaining how it is worked out and which XBRL tags it reads.

A measure missing from a list here could not be computed from this company's filings. It is left out rather than scored as though it were bad.

The figures, and where each came from

This is the part no other screener shows. Each figure below names the XBRL element it was read from, so it can be checked against the filing itself.

What to be careful about

newest fact in the filing is 2025-02-13 (1y old); this company's data is not usable and the scores below should be ignored
revenue is annual, not TTM
operating income is annual, not TTM
revenue period ends 2024-12-31 (601 days ago) - the tag chain found nothing recent, so treat this row as unscored
no market cap; set `market_cap` in overrides.yaml
reports in KRW and no currency is recorded for its share price, so the two cannot be shown to match. The price refresh records one; until it has run for this company the multiples are left out rather than assumed comparable
