[Asia Economy Reporter Minji Lee] Naver (NAVER) is showing an upward trend. This appears to be due to expectations that Naver will be re-evaluated following Coupang's IPO.


As of 9:36 AM on the 15th, Naver is trading at 381,000 KRW, up 3.96% compared to the previous trading day. In the current stock market, foreign investors have been net buyers for five consecutive trading days. Foreign investors purchased 43,000 shares of Naver.



Jiwon Park, a researcher at Kyobo Securities, said, "If Coupang is recognized for its future growth potential and succeeds in its IPO, Naver Shopping, the number one domestic player, will also be re-evaluated. Although Coupang's business strategy differs, Naver holds a competitive advantage in terms of rapid transaction growth, high seller and user responsiveness, and strengthening the value chain through partnerships."
