On June 22, SK Telecom declined 5.44% overnight, trading at $34.17/share, with turnover of $75,500.
The decline reflects the continued unwinding of AI-related speculation that had driven the stock sharply higher earlier in the month. On June 2, SK Telecom surged over 19% after Anthropic secretly filed its IPO prospectus, as the company is a notable investor in the AI firm. However, since June 4, the stock has experienced sustained selling pressure. A brief approximately 5% rebound on June 8, triggered by NVIDIA and SK Group announcing a multi-year AI cooperation agreement, failed to attract sustained buying interest.
The stock has now fallen below pre-speculation levels, with the entire prior rally fully retraced. The market appears to be repricing the stock more rationally, reassessing the actual near-term value of SK Telecom's Anthropic investment stake. Peer stocks in the wireless telecommunications sector remain flat, with the broader sector offering no meaningful support.
