Kakao is trading at 375,500 KRW as of 10:30 AM on the 6th, up 3.44% from the previous day. The trading volume is 825,828 shares, which is 78.48% of the previous day's volume. Kakao is known as the largest mobile communication platform company in South Korea.


On November 6th, Seungtaek Hwang, a researcher at Hana Financial Investment, stated, "Kakao Pay plans to expand and optimize its services through strengthening partnerships with China's Alipay and differentiating fees based on transaction amounts, as well as year-end promotions to secure additional securities accounts, so aggressive growth is expected to continue. The mobility sector is also rapidly improving profitability due to the expansion of Kakao T Blue (13,000 units), Kakao Taxi smart calls, and the strong performance of designated driver services, which will increase its contribution to earnings. The revaluation of consolidated value following the subsidiary's listing in 2021 is also an anticipated factor." He set Kakao's target price at 480,000 KRW.


Over the past five days, individual investors have net sold 237,418 shares of Kakao, while foreigners and institutions have net bought 119,345 shares and 127,182 shares, respectively.
