what happened
South Korean online platform NAVER reported lower operating income for the third quarter despite higher sales, according to TradingView, citing dpa-AFX. Operating income came in at 451.3 billion won, down 20.9% from 570.6 billion won a year earlier.
Net income attributable to parent-company shareholders fell 45% to 399.5 billion won from 726.4 billion won. Revenue, however, rose 10.7% to 3.472 trillion won from 3.138 trillion won a year ago, and grew 2.5% from the previous quarter.
In Seoul trading, NAVER shares fell 6.02% to 182,600 won.
why it matters
The key issue for the market is the gap between revenue and profit. Sales growth did not translate into earnings, which points to thinner margins and could weigh on how investors value NAVER and sentiment toward Korean internet companies.
