035720.KO · PEAD → 4

Kakao reported Q2 2026 EPS of ₩387 on 2026-08-14, missing the ₩388.91 consensus by ₩1.91 (−0.49%); prior-year EPS comparison is not available in our feed.

Print-day reaction was −0.25% versus the prior close, a near-flat response consistent with a de minimis EPS miss on thin volume. The overnight gap to T+1 open extended the softness by a further −0.88%, suggesting modest after-hours selling pressure but no sharp conviction either way. Over the following two trading sessions the stock drifted +1.18%, partially recovering the gap loss without establishing directional follow-through. Cumulative abnormal return of −2.36% versus SPY.US sits inside the ±3% PEAD threshold, producing a none verdict; the signal is held flat through 2026-11-11.
