[Digital News Department] Early in the trading session on the 8th, while domestic robot-related stocks underwent a collective correction, Doosan Robotics and Rainbow Robotics rose alone, showing clear differentiation. Despite heightened expectations for artificial intelligence (AI) and physical AI due to the visit of NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, actual stock price movements diverged sharply due to profit-taking volume following short-term surges and stock-specific fundamentals.

CEO Jensen Huang's Visit... Physical AI Expectations vs. Profit-Taking The recent domestic stock market has seen a strong robot theme driven by expectations for AI and physical AI. In particular, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang visited Korea, holding a series of meetings with the heads of major domestic conglomerates to discuss ways to expand the AI semiconductor and robot ecosystems, thereby brightening industry prospects.

The industry is paying close attention to the fact that CEO Jensen Huang evaluated Korea as a "world-class manufacturing powerhouse" and emphasized the importance of the robot and physical AI industries. There is also a growing atmosphere of NVIDIA pushing forward with the establishment of an AI technology center in Seoul and actively hiring talent in the fields of digital twins and robotics. While generative AI has been software-centric, physical AI is directly connected to the real world—such as actual factories, logistics centers, autonomous driving systems, and humanoid robots—and is evaluated to have the potential to form a new market.

Stock-Specific 'Volatility'... The Background Behind Doosan Robotics' 'Lone Rise' However, investors were not driven solely by expectations. In actual trading, stock-specific differentiation was prominent depending on performance, growth potential, and supply and demand conditions. On this day, Doosan Robotics was evaluated relatively solidly based on its competitiveness in the industrial cooperative robot sector, recording 143,800 won, up 2.49% from the previous trading day. Rainbow Robotics also maintained its upward trend. On the other hand, reflecting the burden of recent short-term surges, most peer stocks plummeted. Rainbow Robotics (-7.34%), Eugene Robotics (-6.49%), Hyundai Movex (-6.80%), Robo3D (-5.62%), Neurocoma (-6.45%), and SPG (-8.87%) all consistently showed weakness.

What are the Future Variables?... "Announcement of Substantive Cooperation is Key" Among domestic investors, the possibility of expanding cooperation between NVIDIA and major companies such as Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and LG Electronics continues to emerge as a topic of interest. However, the securities sector believes that attention should be paid to the possibility of expanding volatility in robot stocks in the short term. The analysis suggests that as the recent robot theme is reacting sensitively to policy expectations and AI-related news, the fluctuation range could widen depending on short-term supply and demand changes. In this week's market, the following are cited as key variables that will affect domestic robot stock investment sentiment following CEO Jensen Huang's visit: △ whether actual cooperation announcements are made, △ the trend of US tech stocks, and △ the directional movement of NVIDIA's stock price.
