[Digital Daily] NAVER fell to the 260,000 won range during the trading day on the 4th. The stock price had previously risen due to expectations for the growth of the artificial intelligence (AI) industry and the potential for collaboration with global tech companies, but it appears to have entered a process of absorbing selling pressure following the short-term gains.

According to the Korea Exchange, NAVER traded at 267,500 won on this day, down 13,000 won (4.63%) from the previous trading day. Starting at 267,500 won early in the session, it briefly rose to 275,000 won before expanding its losses to record an intraday low of 255,000 won. The trading volume exceeded 3.32 million shares, and the trading value also topped 870 billion won. The market interprets this as an influx of short-term profit-taking sell orders following the recent stock price increase.

NAVER has recently garnered investor attention due to expectations for the expansion of its AI business, including the advancement of its generative AI services, the expansion of its cloud business, and the establishment of data center infrastructure. In particular, the schedule of NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's visit to Korea is heightening expectations for the overall domestic AI ecosystem. CEO Jensen Huang is reportedly planning to discuss ways to expand cooperation with major domestic AI and semiconductor companies.

As the AI industry grows rapidly and large-scale computing infrastructure and data center competitiveness become increasingly important, NAVER is also evaluated as actively responding to the expansion of the related market based on its own AI models and cloud technology.

The securities industry believes that, apart from the short-term stock price correction, the growth trend of the AI industry remains valid. Some analysts suggest that if companies continue to expand their AI investments in the future, it could have a positive impact on NAVER's AI services and cloud business. However, given the recent rapid rise in the stock price, there are also mentions of the possibility that volatility will expand in the meantime depending on investor sentiment and changes in supply and demand. The market expects that future AI business performance and the expansion of new services will act as key variables determining the direction of the stock price.
