Q2 revenue reaches KRW 749 billion

The second-quarter result extended the improvement seen in the first quarter. Revenue increased from KRW 652 billion in Q1 2026 to KRW 749 billion in Q2, while operating profit rose from KRW 53.1 billion to KRW 80.2 billion, with both periods identified by ATS View.

Targets split after weak outlook

Analyst views have diverged as the company prepares new releases. KOSPI News lists Meritz Securities cutting its Netmarble target from KRW 60,000 to KRW 54,000 on October 2, 2026, while Eugene Investment and Securities listed a Buy rating with a KRW 55,000 target on October 6.

Stock sits 42.0 percent below high

Netmarble's October 6 price stood within a KRW 33,800 to KRW 59,400 52-week range, leaving the stock 42.0 percent below its yearly high. The market capitalization was KRW 2.8 trillion and trading volume reached 209,195 shares on the same session.

The next scheduled earnings report is November 5, 2026, according to SniperIQ. For investors, the key comparison is now the gap between improving Q2 profitability and the softer Q3 forecast.
