Neptune has been on a six-trading-day winning streak. It is interpreted that the anticipation of the new game's success has stimulated investor sentiment.
As of 9:15 a.m. on the 17th, Neptune is trading at 8,310 KRW, up 5.06% (400 KRW) from the previous day. This marks six consecutive trading days of gains. During the session, the stock price surged to 8,430 KRW, setting a new 52-week high.
The reason behind the stock price increase is the new mobile game "Anchor Panic," published by Neptune. News that the pre-registrations for Anchor Panic, scheduled for release on the 23rd, surpassed 1 million two days ago pushed the stock price up. Available on Korea's Google Play and Apple App Store, this game is a collectible RPG (role-playing game) featuring stories of beautiful girl agents fighting against the alien species "Shugel."
Neptune recorded consolidated sales of 121.6 billion KRW and an operating profit of 9.6 billion KRW last year, continuing its streak of profitability.
