On the morning of the 17th, pharmaceutical and biotech company D&D Pharmatek (347850) is drawing strong investor interest, showing gains of over 13% while a volatility trading halt (VI) was triggered during the session.

As of 10:25 a.m. on this day, D&D Pharmatek's stock price is trading at 103,700 won, up 12,100 won (13.21%) from the previous trading day, demonstrating a sharp upward trend. According to the Korea Exchange, a static VI was triggered for the stock at 10:22:02 a.m. on this day and was lifted approximately two minutes later at 10:24:07 a.m. A static VI is a system that applies single-price trading for two minutes when an individual stock's price surges or plunges beyond a certain level compared to the reference price, in order to prevent investors from excessively chasing the market.

D&D Pharmatek is firmly maintaining its upward trend even after the VI was lifted. Some market participants project that future changes in trading volume and supply and demand will serve as key variables in determining the short-term direction of the stock price.

Prior to this, D&D Pharmatek had also closed strong in the stock market on the 16th, continuing its upward momentum.
