KDDI joins LG CNS on AI projects and KDDI stock costs EUR 16.10

KDDI stock costs EUR 16.10 at Lang & Schwarz on October 14, 2026, while KDDI and LG CNS agreed to pursue artificial intelligence and digital transformation projects across Asia-Pacific, according to Seoul Economic Daily on October 14, 2026. The agreement covers five priority markets and gives the telecom operator a new operating angle in AI, smart cities and systems integration.

Three dated KDDI events

On August 7, 2026, KDDI reported fiscal first-quarter revenue of JPY 1,487,316 million, up 5.10 percent year over year, while adjusted operating profit increased 21.10 percent to JPY 314,300 million, according to 20dai Toushi Kenkyujo. On October 6, 2026, KDDI disclosed that it repurchased 1,788,700 shares for JPY 5,399,467,450 during September, according to KDDI Newsroom. The October 14 agreement is the latest of the three events and extends that growth narrative into overseas digital services.

What does the pact cover?

LG CNS and KDDI plan to combine AI transformation capabilities with KDDI's telecom infrastructure and regional network. The companies identified Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia and China as priority markets, while also reviewing automation services, robot management and integrated smart-city systems, Seoul Economic Daily reported on October 14, 2026. For investors, the practical measure is whether the agreement produces revenue beyond KDDI's established connectivity business.

Results date is November 6

KDDI's investor-relations page lists November 6, 2026, for financial results for the first half of the fiscal year ending March 2027. The same page reports 70,300 thousand mobile subscriber contracts as of the end of fiscal year 2025, providing scale for the company's core network business. The first-half report will show whether the 21.10 percent adjusted operating-profit growth from the fiscal first quarter continued.
