PPC, STRL and KT made it to the Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) growth stocks list on August 19, 2024.
Here at Zacks, our focus is on the proven Zacks Rank system, which emphasizes earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find great stocks. Nevertheless, we are always paying attention to the latest value, growth, and momentum trends to underscore strong picks.
The key positive factors for KT include favorable shareholder capital return expectations, the latest collaboration with Microsoft, and the improvement in the competitive dynamics for its telecommunications business. KT Corporation's valuations are undemanding as evidenced by its low-single digit forward EV/EBITDA multiple. I raise my rating for KT stock from a Hold to a Buy, following an analysis of the stock's valuation metrics and positive re-rating drivers.
