Trending: Naver Delivers Strong Second-Quarter Results

Net profit of 286.70 billion won ($220.4 million) was 81% higher than a year earlier, and it exceeded a consensus compiled by FactSet of KRW257.06 billion. The South Korean internet company said it delivered solid growth in the e-commerce, content and fintech segments, while search-platform ad sales grew on year. Display ads declined. Naver said it plans to unveil its new artificial-intelligence model, HyperCLOVA X, for Korean language services, on Aug. 24, a development that analysts said could boost long-term growth.
