KT Corporation демонстрирует смешанную фундаментальную картину. С одной стороны, выручка и чистая прибыль значительно выше медианных значений по отрасли, что указывает на сильные операционные результаты. Однако P/E находится на высоком уровне, что может сигнализировать о переоцененности компании. Снижение ROE и ROA по сравнению с медианой отрасли также вызывает беспокойство, поскольку это может указывать на снижение эффективности использования капитала. Долговая нагрузка выглядит достаточно приемлемо, но при этом наблюдается рост долгосрочных обязательств. В то же время, динамика валовой маржи остается впечатляющей, что подчеркивает способность компании генерировать прибыль на уровне продаж. На фоне отсутствия дивидендных выплат и низкой прогнозируемой прибыли на акцию, это может вызвать опасения среди инвесторов о будущих доходах. В целом, KT Corporation имеет сильные стороны в виде высокой выручки и чистой прибыли, но сталкивается с вызовами, связанными с эффективностью и оценкой, что требует пересмотра целевой цены.

What this transaction means for investors
NAN FUNG TRINITY expanded its telecom holdings significantly by buying KT Corp, taking it from zero to its 11th largest position. This is not its first international telecom position in this fund, as it also holds a position in America Movil, purchased on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
Moreover, most of its positions that are not exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are technology stocks, with Amazon, Amcor, and Nvidia as its top individual stock holdings.
NAN FUNG TRINITY did not reveal why it chose to buy, though funds have few other reasons to buy a stock than a belief it will move higher. That call appears to be correct, as KT Corp stock is up by double-digits since the beginning of the year, so the investment is off to a good start.
Additionally, at a P/E ratio of 15, the fund appears to have purchased it at a reasonable price. Finally, at a forward P/E ratio of 6, it should not surprise anyone if we find out next quarter that it purchased more shares of KT Corp.

Company Snapshot
KT Corporation offers integrated telecommunications services, including fixed-line and mobile telephony, broadband internet, IPTV, media content, and IT solutions.
The company generates revenue primarily through subscription-based telecom services, data communications, media content delivery, and value-added IT and platform services.
It serves individual consumers, businesses, and institutional clients in South Korea and select international markets.
KT Corporation is a leading telecommunications provider with a diversified service portfolio spanning fixed-line, wireless, broadband, and digital media platforms. The company leverages its extensive infrastructure and subscriber base to deliver stable recurring revenues and expand into adjacent technology and content markets. Its competitive advantage lies in its integrated service offerings and strong market presence in South Korea's communications sector.
Foolish Take
This move looks less about KT’s past-year share performance and more about how capital is being reallocated inside a concentrated portfolio. When a manager exits a modest position entirely while keeping far larger bets elsewhere, it often reflects opportunity cost rather than outright pessimism.
Operationally, KT is doing several things right. Third-quarter revenue rose 7.1% year over year to roughly KRW 7.1 trillion (up 7%), while operating profit climbed 16%, helped by telecom growth, cloud and data center demand, and real estate development gains. Wireless service revenue grew nearly 5%, 5G penetration totaled 80.7%, and EBITDA remained solid despite higher costs that pushed margins down about 400 basis points to 21.1%. Nevertheless, those are not distress signals, and they help explain why the stock outperformed the broader market over the past year.
But relative appeal matters. Oasis Management’s remaining top holdings are more concentrated in higher-volatility or higher-upside infrastructure, data, and alternative asset plays. Against that backdrop, KT’s appeal as a steady, dividend-oriented telecom with mid-single-digit growth may have faded, even as execution improved.

Company snapshot
Range Resources is a leading independent energy producer specializing in natural gas and NGLs, with a significant operational footprint in the Appalachian basin.
The company leverages a large portfolio of producing wells and leased acreage to drive efficient hydrocarbon extraction and sales. Its scale, asset base, and focus on low-cost production contribute to its competitive positioning within the U.S. energy sector. Range Resources produces and sells natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs), and oil, with a focus on the Appalachian region of the United States.
The company operates an exploration and production business model, generating revenue primarily from the extraction and sale of hydrocarbons to utilities, industrial users, and energy marketers.
Range Resources' main customers include utilities, marketing and midstream companies, petrochemical end users, and oil processors.
Foolish take
Kopernik’s decision to add 1.6 million shares of Range Resources is not a trade around the edges of a small-cap name. It is a statement about one of the core producers in U.S. natural gas and about how the long-term gas setup looks from a value investor’s seat. Range Resources sits in the thick of the supply that will help determine how the next leg of the North American gas market plays out.
Range has spent years building a position as one of the lowest-cost operators in the Marcellus and Utica. The company's advantage begins in the rock, where its Marcellus wells deliver long productive lives and steady well performance. From there, the company protects its pricing through transportation agreements that keep its gas moving even when regional takeaway tightens. Its marketing arm then pushes volumes into markets well beyond Appalachia, which gives Range Resources access to hubs that reflect Henry Hub economics rather than local discounts. On the other hand, the company has kept a steady focus on balance sheet repair and disciplined capital spending. That combination puts Range Resources in a position to survive tough gas tapes and still participate when demand tightens.
For investors, the key is to decide whether Range’s cost position and asset base justify riding through the volatility that comes with gas.
The company’s ability to keep improving well performance, advance capital efficiency, and manage its asset base with precision will determine how much of that macro tailwind flows through to long-term returns. If Range Resources continues to execute well in this environment, its role in the next stage of the U.S. gas cycle could prove more valuable than what today’s market suggests.

5 Low Price-to-Book Stocks Worth Considering in October
In value investing, it is a common practice to pick stocks that are cheap but fundamentally strong. There are a number of investment styles to cater to investors looking for the best value stocks.
Among them, the price-to-book ratio (P/B ratio) is an easy-to-use tool for identifying low-priced stocks that have high-growth prospects.
The P/B ratio is used to calculate how much an investor needs to pay for each dollar of book value of a stock. It is calculated by dividing the current closing price of the stock by the latest quarter's book value per share.
P/B ratio = market capitalization/book value of equity.
The P/B ratio helps identify low-priced stocks with high growth prospects. StoneCo, PagSeguro Digital, KT Corp., Arrow Electronics and CVS Health are some such stocks.
Now, let us understand the concept of book value.
What is Book Value?
There are several ways in which book value can be defined. Book value is the total value that would be left over, according to the company’s balance sheet, if it went bankrupt immediately. In other words, this is what shareholders would theoretically receive if a company liquidates all its assets after paying off all its liabilities.
It is calculated by subtracting total liabilities from the total assets of a company. In most cases, this equates to common stockholders’ equity on the balance sheet. However, depending on the company’s balance sheet, intangible assets should also be subtracted from the total assets to determine book value.
Understanding P/B Ratio
By comparing the book value of equity to its market price, we get an idea of whether a company is under- or overpriced. Like P/E or P/S ratios, it is always better to compare the P/B ratio within industries.
A P/B ratio of less than one means that the stock is trading at less than its book value or the stock is undervalued and, therefore, a good buy. Conversely, a stock with a ratio greater than one can be interpreted as being overvalued or relatively expensive.
For example, a stock with a P/B ratio of 2 means that we pay $2 for every $1 of book value. Thus, the higher the P/B, the more expensive the stock.
But there is a warning. A P/B ratio of less than one can also mean that the company is earning weak or even negative returns on its assets or that the assets are overstated. In such a case, the stock should be shunned because it may be destroying shareholder value. Conversely, the stock’s price may be significantly high — thereby pushing the P/B ratio to more than one — in the likely case that it has become a takeover target, a good enough reason to own the stock.
Moreover, the P/B ratio is not without limitations. It is useful for businesses like finance, investments, insurance and banking or manufacturing companies with many liquid/tangible assets on the books. However, it can be misleading for firms with significant R&D expenditure, high debt, service companies, or those with negative earnings.
In any case, the ratio is not particularly relevant as a standalone number. One should analyze other ratios like P/E, P/S and debt to equity before arriving at a reasonable investment decision.

Screening Parameters

Best Growth Stocks to Buy for September 17th

In value investing, it is a common practice to pick stocks that are cheap but fundamentally strong. There are a number of investment styles to suit the predilection of hundreds of investors looking for the best value stocks.
Among them, the price-to-book ratio (P/B ratio) is an easy-to-use tool for identifying low-priced stocks that have high-growth prospects.
The P/B ratio is used to calculate how much an investor needs to pay for each dollar of book value of a stock. It is calculated by dividing the current closing price of the stock by the latest quarter's book value per share.
P/B ratio = market capitalization/book value of equity.
The P/B ratio helps identify low-priced stocks with high growth prospects. StoneCo STNE, CVS Health CVS, KT Corporation KT, KB Financial Group KB and USANA Health Sciences USNA are some such stocks.
Now, let us understand the concept of book value.
What is Book Value?
There are several ways in which book value can be defined. Book value is the total value that would be left over, according to the company’s balance sheet, if it goes bankrupt immediately. In other words, this is what shareholders would theoretically receive if a company liquidates all its assets after paying off all its liabilities.
It is calculated by subtracting total liabilities from the total assets of a company. In most cases, this equates to common stockholders’ equity on the balance sheet. However, depending on the company’s balance sheet, intangible assets should also be subtracted from the total assets to determine book value.
Understanding P/B Ratio
By comparing the book value of equity to its market price, we get an idea of whether a company is under- or overpriced. Like the P/E or P/S ratios, it is always better to compare the P/B ratio within industries.
A P/B ratio of less than one means that the stock is trading at less than its book value or the stock is undervalued and, therefore, a good buy. Conversely, a stock with a ratio greater than one can be interpreted as being overvalued or relatively expensive.
For example, a stock with a P/B ratio of 2 means that we pay $2 for every $1 of book value. Thus, the higher the P/B, the more expensive the stock.
But there is a warning. A P/B ratio of less than one can also mean that the company is earning weak or even negative returns on its assets or that the assets are overstated. In such a case, the stock should be shunned because it may be destroying shareholder value. Conversely, the stock’s price may be significantly high — thereby pushing the P/B ratio to more than one — in the likely case that it has become a takeover target, a good enough reason to own the stock.
Moreover, the P/B ratio is not without limitations. It is useful for businesses like finance, investments, insurance and banking or manufacturing companies with many liquid/tangible assets on the books. However, it can be misleading for firms with significant R&D expenditure, high debt, service companies, or those with negative earnings.
In any case, the ratio is not particularly relevant as a standalone number. One should analyze other ratios like P/E, P/S and debt to equity before arriving at a reasonable investment decision.
Screening Parameters
Price to Book (common Equity) less than X-Industry Median: A lower P/B compared with the industry average implies that there is enough room for the stock to gain.
Price to Sales less than X-Industry Median: The P/S ratio determines how much the market values every dollar of the company’s sales/revenues — a lower ratio than the industry makes the stock attractive.
Price to Earnings using F(1) estimate less than X-Industry Median: The P/E ratio (F1) values a company based on its current share price relative to its estimated earnings per share — a lower ratio than the industry is considered better.
PEG less than 1: PEG links the P/E ratio to the future growth rate of the company. The PEG ratio portrays a more complete picture than the P/E ratio. A value of less than 1 indicates that the stock is undervalued, and investors need to pay less for a stock that has bright earnings growth prospects.
Current Price greater than or equal to $5: They must all be trading at a minimum of $5 or higher.
Average 20-Day Volume greater than or equal to 100,000: A substantial trading volume ensures that the stock is easily tradable.
Zacks Rank less than or equal to #2: Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) stocks are known to outperform irrespective of the market environment.
Value Score equal to A or B: Our research shows that stocks with a Value Score of A or B, when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 or 2, offer the best opportunities in the value investing space.

Value Investing: 5 Undervalued Stocks Worth Adding to Your Portfolio

When it comes to short-term investing or trading, they say "the trend is your friend." And there's no denying that this is the most profitable strategy. But making sure of the sustainability of a trend to profit from it is easier said than done.
The trend often reverses before exiting the trade, leading to a short-term capital loss for investors. So, for a profitable trade, one should confirm factors such as sound fundamentals, positive earnings estimate revisions, etc. that could keep the momentum in the stock alive.
Investors looking to make a profit from stocks that are currently on the move may find our "Recent Price Strength" screen pretty useful. This predefined screen comes handy in spotting stocks that are on an uptrend backed by strength in their fundamentals, and trading in the upper portion of their 52-week high-low range, which is usually an indicator of bullishness.
There are several stocks that passed through the screen and
KT Corp.
(KT) is one of them. Here are the key reasons why this stock is a solid choice for "trend" investing.
A solid price increase over a period of 12 weeks reflects investors' continued willingness to pay more for the potential upside in a stock. KT is quite a good fit in this regard, gaining 21.7% over this period.
However, it's not enough to look at the price change for around three months, as it doesn't reflect any trend reversal that might have happened in a shorter time frame. It's important for a potential winner to maintain the price trend. A price increase of 10.2% over the past four weeks ensures that the trend is still in place for the stock of this telecommunications services provider.
Moreover, KT is currently trading at 98.1% of its 52-week High-Low Range, hinting that it can be on the verge of a breakout.
Looking at the fundamentals, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), which means it is in the top 20% of more than the 4,000 stocks that we rank based on trends in earnings estimate revisions and EPS surprises -- the key factors that impact a stock's near-term price movements.
The Zacks Rank stock-rating system, which uses four factors related to earnings estimates to classify stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive externally-audited track record, with Zacks Rank #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>
Another factor that confirms the company's fundamental strength is its Average Broker Recommendation of #1 (Strong Buy). This indicates that the brokerage community is highly optimistic about the stock's near-term price performance.
So, the price trend in KT may not reverse anytime soon.
In addition to KT, there are several other stocks that currently pass through our "Recent Price Strength" screen. You may consider investing in them and start looking for the newest stocks that fit these criteria.
This is not the only screen that could help you find your next winning stock pick. Based on your personal investing style, you may choose from over 45 Zacks Premium Screens that are strategically created to beat the market.
However, keep in mind that the key to a successful stock-picking strategy is to ensure that it produced profitable results in the past. You could easily do that with the help of the Zacks Research Wizard. In addition to allowing you to backtest the effectiveness of your strategy, the program comes loaded with some of our most successful stock-picking strategies.

Joseph Piotroski Portfolio
About Joseph Piotroski: Piotroski isn't your typical Wall Street big shot. In fact, he's not even a professional investor. He's a good old numbers-crunching accountant and college professor. But in 2000, shortly after he started teaching at the University of Chicago's Graduate School of Business, Piotroski published a groundbreaking paper in the Journal of Accounting Research entitled "Value Investing: The Use of Historical Financial Statement Information to Separate Winners from Losers". In it, Piotroski laid out an accounting-based stock-selection/shorting method that produced a 23 percent average annual back-tested return from 1976 through 1996 -- more than double the S&P 500's gain during that time. Piotroski's findings were reported in major financial publiations like SmartMoney. Today, he teaches accounting at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business.
About Validea: Validea is aninvestment researchservice that follows the published strategies of investment legends.
