, “(Seoul=News1) Reporter Park Seung-hee = Korea Investment Securities evaluated on the 23rd that NCSoft (036570), which is on the verge of several new releases, is at a crucial turning point. While maintaining a neutral investment opinion so far, it was seen as a situation where a significant reversal can be expected.”,
,
, ‘Korea Investment Securities analyst Jung Ho-yoon said, “Except for Project TL at the end of last year, there have been no significant new releases for more than two and a half years, but starting with DomainMate on the 28th, they are preparing to release 3 to 4 titles in the second half, and also plan to release more than 4 new titles in 2025.”‘,
,
, ‘He continued, “It is necessary to pay attention to the resumption of new releases, and the recent continuous decline in stock prices has eased valuation concerns, which is positive,” and expected that “success in new releases and success in market performance could lead to improvement in performance and stock price recovery.”‘,
,
, ‘He also explained, “It is necessary to instill trust in people regarding game development capabilities and monetization models,” and said, “Ultimately, the user evaluations of DomainMate are important. As opposed to NCSoft’s past games, which focused on trendy game styles and controls, if DomainMate receives positive reviews, expectations for future new releases could also rise overall.”‘,
,
, ‘Analyst Jung said, “Although we are still maintaining neutrality, it is a situation where a significant reversal can be expected,” and said, “If investors’ trust in the willingness and results of change can be slightly restored, the undervalued stock price could expect a meaningful rise, so it is necessary to keep an eye on the success of DomainMate.”‘,
,
, ‘Meanwhile, Korea Investment Securities did not provide a separate target price for NCSoft on this day. The target price on the previous date of November 28 last year was 300,000 won. The current stock price is 192,300 won based on the previous day’s closing price.\n’
