- Nexon's first-half 2026 revenue reached JPY 273.3 billion, up 17.40 percent year over year.

Nexon (ISIN JP3758190007) generated JPY 273.3 billion in revenue during the first half of fiscal 2026, up 17.40 percent from the prior-year period, while operating profit reached JPY 89.4 billion, up 12.80 percent, according to ETF Shopping. The latest market signal is an analyst target increase to JPY 2,720.00.
Target rises to JPY 2,720.00
A European securities house kept Nexon at Neutral on October 5, 2026, while raising its target from JPY 2,690.00 to JPY 2,720.00, Yahoo Finance reported. The JPY 30.00 increase gives the update a measured tone because the rating stayed unchanged.
What does the dividend mean?
Nexon's capital return remains the strongest counterweight to the neutral analyst stance. The company set a JPY 415.00 special dividend on September 10, 2026, according to Futubull. That distribution followed a sharp increase in the annual dividend forecast to JPY 475.00 from JPY 60.00, a move that materially changes the income profile for shareholders.
Three events shaped the stock
On August 14, 2026, Nexon's first-half revenue was reported at JPY 273.3 billion and operating profit at JPY 89.4 billion by ETF Shopping. On September 10, 2026, Nexon set the JPY 415.00 special dividend, as reported by Futubull. On October 5, 2026, the European securities house raised its target to JPY 2,720.00 while retaining Neutral, according to Yahoo Finance.
Next filing date remains estimated
ETF Shopping estimates March 24, 2027, for Nexon's next annual filing and identifies the June 30, 2026 half-year report as the latest disclosure. The estimate is based on prior filing timing rather than a company-published calendar date.
Nexon keeps the focus on returns
Nexon's first-half revenue and operating profit both grew year over year, while the special dividend added a direct capital-return factor to the valuation discussion. The combination of a higher target and an unchanged Neutral rating points to a stock story shaped by cash distribution as much as by earnings growth.
