SK Telecom said the profitability of its AI data center business is not behind its existing telecom business.

Park Jong-seok, SK Telecom chief financial officer (CFO), said on May 7 during the 2026 first-quarter earnings conference call that, regarding the AI DC business, "its profitability is not lower than that of the fixed and mobile telecom businesses, and there is considerable room for improvement ahead."

He added, "As we are fostering AI data centers as a key growth engine, we also decided to review preparing separate metrics so investors can see the business results more clearly."
