Market Response

Major media outlets highlighted the recovery of quarterly operating profit to the 5 billion won threshold for the first time in a year and the resumption of quarterly dividends. Some analysts attributed the results to recovery in the AI data center business and wireless operations. However, year-over-year declines were attributed to residual impacts from last year's data breach incident. Specific market data such as share price and foreign investor holdings were not included in the disclosure.
