Nvidia to invest $1 billion in Naver, taking a 4.54% stake

Nvidia will commit $1 billion to Naver, becoming its third‑largest shareholder with a 4.54% ownership stake. Naver will issue new shares priced at 204,500 won each, with trading of those shares slated to begin on 27 Nov. The capital will fund a joint AI factory and expand Naver’s computing infrastructure.

The share issuance will dilute existing Naver shareholders while providing Nvidia exposure to the Korean AI market, which could affect both companies' valuations. The partnership may accelerate AI product development for Naver, potentially boosting its revenue growth.
