NCSoft still undervalued despite earnings rebound; spotlight on Aion2 global launch

NCSoft is expected to extend earnings improvement in the second quarter on the back of Lineage Classic’s strong performance, wider direct payments and consolidation of JustPlay, analysts say. The market consensus calls for 681.2 billion won in revenue and 129.4 billion won in operating profit. Despite the rebound, securities firms put its forward 12-month PER at around 11. Investors are focused on whether Aion2’s September global release will prompt a valuation re-rating.
