Local Reports in Korea Regarding A Holdings Stake Sale Between Naver & Softbank

By Sanghyun Park

  • Naver doesn’t view the sale of its A Holdings stake unfavorably; insiders suggest it’s been planning this move since last year.
  • Market speculation suggests Naver was disappointed by Softbank’s rejection of CLOVA X in LINE, prompting plans to sell A Holdings stake for AI development. A sale agreement is expected soon.
  • The method through which Softbank secures funds for this acquisition is worth the attention from a short-term trading perspective.
