On March 9, Lee Seunghoon, a researcher at IBK Investment & Securities, stated, "Kakao has evolved into the top lifestyle service in South Korea based on KakaoTalk and brand trust. KakaoTalk is closely linked with services such as Pay, e-commerce, mobility, and KakaoTV. Subsidiaries like mobility and enterprise are attracting investments at higher valuations, and as IPOs approach, the value of subsidiaries is rising. Major subsidiaries are expected to go public by 2022, and with increased marketing expenses and investments, high valuations are expected to be maintained." He set Kakao's target price at 560,000 KRW.
