KT Corporation Deserves A Higher Valuation With ROE Expansion Potential

KT Corporation is trading at a -36% discount to book now, which is justified by its lackluster high-single digit Return On Equity. I see KT Corporation's ROE expanding by +2 percentage points in the next 3 years, thanks to lower expenses, higher shareholder distributions, and non-core asset monetization. My rating for the stock is a Buy; I am expecting it to be valued above net asset value in due course when its ROE becomes higher.
