Studio Dragon recently announced their second quarter earnings and the news is positive for investors. Studio Dragon has seen its sales jump to 150 billion won, or around 120 million dollars. This represents a 48.5% boost compared to the second quarter of 2021. Profit has seen an even bigger boost of 95.7% to 27 billion won, or around 20 million dollars. The better-than-expected performance has caused Studio Dragon to upgrade their stock price goal from 100,000 won to 110,000 won.

Studio Dragon had thirteen projects released during the second quarter. "Our Blues" and "The Killer's Shopping List" are two of these titles that were released via the normal TV distribution method. "Monstrous" and "Yumi's Cells - Season 2" were, by contrast, designed for streaming platforms. Both models appear to be showing strong success for Studio Dragon, although the drama production company did not state which individual dramas earned or lost money.
Studio Dragon did claim that seven of these thirteen titles exceeded expectations. "Our Blues" and "Alchemy of Souls" were specifically called out as successful tentpole projects, though Studio Dragon also stated that sales to streaming platforms such as Disney+ have shown good outcomes. Studio Dragon has twenty-three projects planned for the latter part of this year, and counts Netflix, Disney+, TVING, Coupang Play, Apple TV+, and Amazon Prime as interested buyers for these projects.
