Here are highlights from Tuesdays Analyst Blog:

SK Telecom? Don't Get Hung Up

SK Telecom Co., Ltd. (NYSE: SKM) is trading at a forward multiple of 8x our fiscal year 2008 EPADR estimate, which is at a discount to its peers in the industry. Given limited growth prospects in South Korea, SKM is pursuing business opportunities in emerging markets, such as Vietnam.

Other avenues for growth include the domestic IPTV market (through investment in Hanaro Telecom), a partnership with China Unicom (NYSE: CHU), and sizable opportunities in the United States with a recent investment in Virgin Mobile (NYSE: VM) and potential collaboration with Sprint Nextel (NYSE: S).

CF Industries Brings About Growth

CF Industries Holdings Inc. (NYSE: CF) has leading market shares in many key fertilizers. Strong domestic and international grain markets have produced an exceptionally high global demand for fertilizer, translating into substantially higher selling prices for all the products.

The company is optimistic about its phosphate business where the market is expected to remain tight near term due to healthy offshore demand growth in India and Brazil as well as higher application rates in the U.S. This is likely to lead to higher prices and cash margins for various fertilizers.
