Com2us is experiencing a surge in stock prices due to high expectations for its new game, 'Zeus: God of Pride.'
As of 9:25 a.m. on the 27th, Com2us shares were trading at 38,450 won, up 6,100 won (17.94%) from the previous trading day. Early in the session, the stock even reached 41,100 won, further increasing its gains.
The excitement among investors is attributed to reports that 'Zeus: God of Pride' quickly climbed to the top of the popularity rankings in both major app stores shortly after its release.
The game began pre-downloads on the 24th and reached the number one spot in the Apple App Store's popular games on the same day. On its official launch day, the 26th, it also topped the Google Play popular games chart. Interest in the game was high even before its release, as three character name reservation events held since the 13th sold out quickly.
Analysts believe that the initial success of 'Zeus' could lead to improved financial performance for Com2us.
Kim Dong-woo, a researcher at Kyobo Securities, stated, "The success of 'Zeus' will be a key factor in estimating profits for the second half of this year and next year," adding that, "Thanks to the revenue contribution from 'Zeus,' consolidated sales in the second half of this year are expected to increase by 13.4% compared to the same period last year, marking a turnaround from a decline." He also projected that operating profit during the same period would reach 22.5 billion won, a return to profitability compared to the previous year.
