WEBTOON Reports Q3 2026 Earnings with Strong Advertising Growth and AI Expansion
WEBTOON (WBTN) reported its third-quarter 2026 earnings, highlighting a significant acceleration in digital advertising revenue, which grew 26.2% year-over-year to $49.7 million. While the company faces revenue contraction in Japan, management is countering this by committing approximately $63 million over the next three years to bolster local Japanese content and creator pipelines. The company is also leveraging artificial intelligence to drive global engagement, specifically through automatic translation tools on its CANVAS self-publishing platform. These tools have contributed to a nearly 40% increase in weekly episode reads among non-English readers. Looking ahead, WEBTOON projects fourth-quarter revenue growth of 9% to 12% on a constant currency basis.
