KT paid its most recent dividend, $0.17 per share, with an ex-date of July 29, 2026 and a pay date of August 20, 2026. The source lists the frequency as quarterly. Over the trailing twelve months, it paid $0.70 per share, a yield of about 3.71% at a share price of $18.99.
The record shows a change in cadence. From 2019 through 2023, KT made one payment a year, with a late-December ex-date and a pay date in late April or early May. Those annual amounts were $0.44, $0.61, $0.75, $0.73 and $0.71. From 2024, payments became more frequent and smaller: three of $0.18 in 2024, then four in 2025 totalling $0.80 and ranging from $0.17 to $0.22. The three 2026 payments so far were $0.17, $0.16 and $0.17. Amounts vary from payment to payment, and the table shows no steady step pattern. The source gives no growth streak.
If the 2025 timing holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in early November 2026 and be paid in late November.
