LG Innotek is showing strength during trading hours on the 18th, driven by artificial intelligence (AI) benefits and expectations for growth in advanced package substrates.

As of 2:06 p.m. on the day, LG Innotek is trading at 1,282,000 won, up 34,000 won (2.72%) from the previous trading day, maintaining an upward trend in the 2% range. Trading volume has also surpassed 940,000 shares. The stock continued its upward trajectory from the early hours of trading with steady buying interest inflow, and during the session, it traded above the 1,290,000-won level. This represents a robust performance that stands out even among large-cap stocks by market capitalization.

The market's key focus is on the proliferation of AI and growing demand for high-performance semiconductors. Accordingly, the growth potential of advanced package substrate businesses, including FC-BGA, is drawing attention, and LG Innotek is actively expanding its semiconductor substrate business alongside its core optical solutions business to solidify future growth drivers.

Securities firms also evaluate that the stable profitability of smartphone camera modules and the growth potential of the advanced substrate business are being simultaneously highlighted. Recently published securities reports also identify the expansion of the FC-BGA business and the potential of the package solutions sector as key investment points, signaling continued investor interest. In particular, the positive outlook that new product launches by global IT companies and enhanced AI capabilities will lead to expanded component demand is prevailing.

The macroeconomic market conditions are also favorable. As the KOSPI broke the 9000 mark during the session, continuing its march to all-time highs, LG Innotek also rode the upward trend supported by demand from foreign and institutional investors. The market forecasts that the future new product launch schedules of major clients and the performance of the semiconductor substrate business will act as key variables determining the stock price.
