Nexon stock (ISIN JP3758190007) was last at JPY 2,609.0 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 6, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. JST, down 2.67 percent from the prior close of JPY 2,680.5. The latest capital action is a JPY 415.00 special dividend payable on November 25, 2026, according to Japan IR in a notice dated September 10, 2026 and updated October 6, 2026.

Special dividend sets a clear date

The dividend is based on a September 30, 2026 record date and totals JPY 324.001 billion on a provisional basis. The payment is linked to Nexon's provisional financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2026, giving the capital return a specific accounting and distribution timetable.

Japan IR said the company intends to combine stable dividends with flexible share buybacks after the special distribution. For investors, the key distinction is that the JPY 415.00 payment is a one-time return, while the longer-term policy centers on recurring dividends and possible repurchases.

Revenue grows while profit pressure persists

Nexon's second quarter 2026 revenue rose 2 percent year over year to JPY 121.08 billion, while operating income declined 17 percent, according to Investing.com in its August 13, 2026 results summary. The combination points to a narrower gap between sales growth and profitability, making cost control as important as new game performance.

The same summary lists third quarter guidance of JPY 120.7 billion to JPY 133.4 billion in revenue and JPY 22.3 billion to JPY 22.6 billion in operating income. The range gives the market a concrete test for whether the revenue trend can translate into earnings improvement.

Analysts see upside to JPY 2,969
