## Most Popular Narrative: 7.1% Overvalued

The most followed narrative puts NEXON’s fair value at ¥2,477.76, which sits below the last close at ¥2,654.5 and frames the recent share price correction as only a partial reset.

> _The assumed bearish price target for NEXON is ¥2477.76, which represents up to two standard deviations below the consensus price target of ¥3756.42. This valuation is based on what can be assumed as the expectations of NEXON's future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors from analysts on the more bearish end of the spectrum._

_Read the complete narrative._

Analysts in this narrative are not just plugging in generic growth. They are incorporating firmer margins, steady top line progress, and a lower future earnings multiple. Curious which assumptions really pull that fair value down and how much the model leans on buybacks versus profit expansion.

**Result: Fair Value of ¥2,477.76 (OVERVALUED)**

Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what's behind the forecasts.

However, if newer titles gain traction and live service offerings keep players engaged for longer, those bearish assumptions on growth and margins could quickly look too cautious.

## Another way to look at valuation

The narrative labels NEXON as 7.1% overvalued at ¥2,654.5 using analyst targets and earnings assumptions.
