Naver hit by investment burden, Kakao aided by cost stability as Q3 outlook diverges
Naver and Kakao are expected to post divergent third-quarter results. Naver is forecast to log double-digit revenue growth but a drop in operating profit due to heavier spending on AI infrastructure, commerce and marketing. Kakao is seen posting a slight revenue decline but a double-digit rise in operating profit on relatively stable costs. Analysts say investors will focus on whether each company can translate AI initiatives into concrete products, contracts and revenue.

Brokerage stocks extend slide as market stalls; what could drive a rebound
South Korean brokerage shares that surged in the first half are sliding as the stock market weakens. Falling trading value and worries over slower third-quarter earnings are weighing on prices. Daily average trading value in the third quarter fell 41.7 percent from the previous quarter, with ETF and overseas stock trading also declining. The market estimates combined third-quarter net profit at five major brokerages fell sharply year on year. Dividends and shareholder-return policies could support any rebound.
