Krafton stock tracks USD 500 million India expansion

Krafton (ISIN KR7259960003) is committing USD 250 million to India over the next three to four years, extending its strategy beyond gaming into artificial intelligence, robotics and deep technology. The company closed at KRW 198,700.00 on the Korea Exchange KOSPI on September 29, 2026, giving investors a market value of KRW 8.8 trillion.

India investment reaches USD 500 million

As TechCrunch reported on September 4, 2026, the new commitment will lift Krafton's total planned direct investment in India to USD 500 million. The funds are separate from a USD 670 million India-focused growth fund created with Naver and Mirae Asset.

VARINDIA reported on September 29, 2026, that Krafton is targeting AI, robotics and deep technology startups alongside gaming. The expansion creates a second growth avenue, but it also adds investment exposure beyond the company's established game franchises.

Q2 revenue jumps 94.9 percent

Krafton's Q2 2026 revenue reached KRW 1.29 trillion, up 94.9 percent from the same quarter a year earlier, while operating profit rose to KRW 411.0 billion. The operating margin was 31.8 percent, according to ATS View.

The quarterly result also contained a sharp contrast: Krafton posted a net loss of KRW 29.9 billion in Q2 2026, compared with net income of KRW 15.5 billion in Q2 2025. The gap means operating growth did not translate directly into bottom-line profit during the latest reported quarter.

Krafton reports again in November

Krafton closed at KRW 198,700.00 on September 29, 2026, versus a prior close of KRW 202,000.00. The 52-week range was KRW 196,000.00 to KRW 303,500.00, placing the stock near its yearly low. Investing.com lists November 4, 2026, as the next earnings date.
