PSA Media & Entertainment: Nexon (3659 JT) FY24 Q3

With a disappointing Q3, 2024 is proving to be a disappointment for Nexon, with revenues and profits not much improved from 2023 despite the augmented content. However, if earnings haven’t increased this year, neither has the share price, and that is really the only saving grace about this performance, which perhaps suggests that the lacklustre performance is now in the price.
