[Special Stock] NHN to Improve Performance with New Releases Next Year... 'Rising'

NHN is on the rise. It appears that securities firms' analyses, which expect improved performance due to new releases next year, have had an impact.

As of 10:01 AM on the 5th, NHN was trading at 18,380 won, up 310 won (1.72%) compared to the previous trading day.

Jung Ho-yoon, a researcher at Korea Investment & Securities, said, "NHN deserves attention as the game sector is expected to improve overall in 2025 compared to 2024, and NHN is evaluated as a company that can achieve good results among them," adding, "Improvement is expected due to multiple new releases and reductions in fixed costs such as labor expenses."

Korea Investment & Securities emphasizes that NHN has high profit stability. He said, "Like Krafton and Shift Up, NHN also has high sales and profit stability in its existing lineup because its core game lineups consist of web board games and long-standing Japanese casual games."

In particular, improved performance is expected due to new releases next year. He evaluated, "NHN plans to release multiple new titles in 2025," adding, "Since there were no significant new releases in 2023?2024, like other game companies, performance improvement through new releases can be expected."

He added, "The risk of sales decline in the existing lineup is limited, so even if new releases achieve just a little success, it can lead to improved performance."
