Hanwha Ocean is exhibiting stock price volatility amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and growing expectations for overseas submarine orders. According to the Korea Exchange on the 11th, Hanwha Ocean closed at 104,500 won, down 5.17% from the previous trading day. However, during the trading session, it recorded volatility by rising to 108,600 won, with a trading volume of approximately 1.51 million shares. In particular, it shifted to a bullish candle on the NXT market, drawing investors' attention.

Recently, as military tensions between the United States and Iran have heightened, investment sentiment toward the defense and shipbuilding sectors as a whole is on the rise. There is an observation that if the possibility of armed conflict in the Middle East is highlighted, expectations for naval force expansion and the subsequent increase in warship orders could grow. As a leading domestic defense shipbuilder with the capability to construct surface ships and submarines, Hanwha Ocean is expected to reflect the benefits stemming from changes in the global security environment.

In particular, Hanwha Ocean is actively making inroads into overseas markets leveraging its overwhelming submarine design and construction technologies, such as the Jangbogo-III (KSS-III) class submarines. The possibility of winning an order is also being discussed in relation to Canada's submarine acquisition project, which is currently pushing to replace its aging submarines. While multiple countries, including South Korean companies, are being mentioned as candidates, Hanwha Ocean is highlighting its excellent price competitiveness and delivery response capabilities as its core strengths.

The market analyzes that geopolitical risks originating from the Middle East and whether the company can secure orders for large-scale projects, such as the North American submarine project, will act as major variables in the future stock price trend of Hanwha Ocean. However, some point out that caution is necessary regarding the expansion of short-term volatility, as it may take some time before actual orders are placed.
