The dominant mobile messaging service provider needs to prove its monetization capability.
Kakao has been dominating the mobile messaging service market in South Korea since its launch in 2010. However, we think investment in this company is speculative, given the high level of uncertainty of its monetization model. We believe the consolidation of Loen, which owns the leading music streaming service MelOn, during the second half of 2016, has improved Kakao’s overall profitability and capability to generate cash. However, Loen’s revenue accounts for less than 30% of total revenue, and ...Kakao is engaged in the provision of Internet services to its users and advertisers. Co. provides its owned and operated online properties and services for its users. Co. provides a range of tools and marketing services designed to enable businesses to reach its users for its advertisers.
