Krafton stock (ISIN KR7259960003) rose 1.76 percent to KRW 231,000 on the Seoul market, while Tencent still held 14.01 percent of the company, according to a Asia Business Daily report dated September 1, 2026.

Stakeholder signals matter

The same report said Tencent kept its investment in Krafton at 14.01 percent even as it reshaped parts of its global portfolio. For investors, that keeps a large strategic shareholder visible in the background.

Krafton reported revenue of KRW 7.07 trillion for 2025, up 41.8 percent from KRW 4.98 trillion in 2024, and operating profit of KRW 2.74 trillion, up 9.1 percent from KRW 2.51 trillion, according to the companys most recent annual results. Net profit reached KRW 2.04 trillion in 2025.

Trading set against a weak Seoul session

Seoul shares were sharply lower on September 2, 2026, with the KOSPI down 2.86 percent to 6,640.26 at 11:20 a.m., according to YNA. Kraftons 1.76 percent gain stood out against that backdrop.

The stock also traded well above the 222,500 won low and below the 232,500 won high shown in the latest market snapshot from September 1, 2026. That leaves the price close to the upper end of the day range.
