In the stock market on the 18th, Robostar finished trading slightly higher after showing large intraday swings.

According to the Korea Exchange, Robostar's closing price on this day was 103,700 won, up 200 won (0.19%) from the previous trading day. The stock opened at 111,400 won and rose to an intraday high of 111,500 won, but gave up most of its gains as profit-taking sell orders emerged. The intraday low was 102,600 won.

Robostar, which specializes in industrial robots and automation equipment, is classified as a leading robot-related stock in the domestic stock market amid expectations of benefits from the expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) and smart factories. Recently, driven by growth prospects in the AI and automation industries, investor interest in robot stocks overall has continued.

However, with the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) keeping its benchmark interest rate unchanged while maintaining a cautious stance on future monetary policy, wariness in global stock markets is expanding. Overnight in the New York Stock Exchange, major tech stocks such as NVIDIA, Apple, and Tesla showed weakness, dampening investor sentiment.

Despite these external uncertainties, Robostar successfully digested intraday corrections and closed higher, demonstrating a steady trend. The market expects that the future expansion of AI investment and the increase in manufacturing automation demand will act as key variables for the mid- to long-term investment sentiment in robot-related stocks.
