Naver's recent entry into a correction phase after showing a strong upward trend that broke the 300,000 won mark during intraday trading is drawing keen attention from investors. Due to short-term burdens and profit-taking sell-offs, the stock price has retreated to the low 280,000 won range; however, the market interprets this as a natural price correction during an upward trend rather than a breakdown of the trend.

In particular, there is speculation that waiting funds, which missed the timing to enter during the surge, may flow in using this correction as a buying opportunity. This is supported by the fact that expectations for the growth of the artificial intelligence (AI) industry and the expansion of its platform business remain valid.

[Global AI Collaboration and Hyper-scale AI Competitiveness] The biggest recent focus surrounding Naver is the expansion of its collaboration with global AI companies. The market is closely watching Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's schedule for his visit to Korea and his meetings with major IT companies. Naver's technological competitiveness in the cloud and AI infrastructure sectors is being re-evaluated, raising expectations that the scope of future collaborations will expand.

Additionally, the fact that Naver is accelerating its targeting of non-English-speaking markets centered on its own hyper-scale AI model is acting as a positive catalyst. As the demand for localized AI services reflecting the linguistic and cultural characteristics of each country increases, this business model is being evaluated as a new growth driver.

[Expansion of Robotics, Digital Twins, and Financial Platforms] The robotics industry and digital twin technology are also key areas drawing investor attention. Naver is promoting the development of technology that implements real cities and buildings in virtual spaces, and based on this, it is expanding its robot services and smart space businesses. This technology is evaluated as having the potential to form a new platform ecosystem in the future by combining with AI.

The potential for expanding its financial platform business is also attracting market interest. While broadening its financial services sector based on simple payments and fintech businesses, various scenarios are being discussed to respond to changes in the digital asset and next-generation payment markets. However, whether this will lead to specific business promotions must be confirmed through future official announcements.

[Supported by Institutional Buying... 'Comprehensive Tech Company' Re-evaluation Expected] Looking at supply and demand, while there have been some short-term profit-taking moves by foreign investors, institutional buying has absorbed much of it. In particular, steady capital inflows, led by pension funds and insurance companies, are providing strong support for the stock price's lower end.

The securities industry highly praises the fact that Naver is transforming into a 'comprehensive tech company' encompassing the AI, cloud, fintech, and robotics industries, moving beyond its status as a leading domestic platform company. Moving forward, the pace of growth in the AI industry and whether collaborations with global tech companies will expand are expected to act as key variables determining the mid- to long-term stock price trend.
