NAVER Sees Solid Q3 2025 Growth Fueled by AI and Commerce Push

South Korea’s internet‑giant NAVER Corporation reported a strong Q3 2025, with revenue rising about 15.6% year‑over‑year to KRW 3.138 trillion, and operating profit climbing 8.6% to KRW 570.6 billion. Key growth drivers included its commerce business — up nearly 36% year‑over‑year — and fintech revenue rising roughly 12.5%. Meanwhile the search‐platform segment grew slower (around 6.3% year‑over‑year), signalling NAVER is increasingly leaning on newer growth engines like e‑commerce and AI‐enabled services. The company acknowledged that its infrastructure and AI investments, including GPUs and cloud expansion, are putting near‑term pressure on free cash flow and margins — but it expects the payoff over the longer term. #NAVER #TechEarnings #AIExpansion #CommerceGrowth #SlimScan #GrowthStocks #CANSLIM
