Domestic robot-related stocks, which had recently surged on expectations for the artificial intelligence (AI) and humanoid robot industry, closed weaker amid broad profit-taking sell-offs. However, some stocks demonstrated strong upward momentum, showing a selective bullish trend.

Leading Stocks Weaken... Rainbow Robotics and Doosan Robotics Decline Rainbow Robotics, considered a leading robot stock, finished trading at 572,000 won, down 18,000 won (3.05%) from the previous trading day. Although it showed early strength, rising to as high as 603,000 won during the session, it failed to sustain the upward trend and closed lower as selling pressure flowed in. Doosan Robotics also fell 1.67% to end at 100,100 won, barely defending the 100,000-won level, with trading volume recorded at 583,655 shares.

Mid- and Small-Cap Robot Stocks Post Larger Declines... P&S Robotics Plunges 11.60% The decline was relatively steeper for mid- and small-cap robot stocks. Huneed Robotics closed down 6.13% at 9,500 won, while numerous stocks including Neuromeca (-5.90%), SBV Tech (-4.71%), CMES Robotics (-4.66%), Hyundai Movex (-4.35%), and Unirobotics (-4.34%) all succumbed to weakness. In particular, P&S Robotics plunged 11.60%, marking the steepest decline of the day.

Selective Strong Performers Remain... KRM Rises 7.33% Meanwhile, some stocks also stood out by closing higher. KRM traded up 7.33% at 3,735 won, while Mirae Company (4.91%, 11,330 won), Ailux (4.22%, 8,900 won), and Robostar (2.63%) attracted market attention with their upward trends.

Securities Firms: "Short-Term Correction Phase... Medium- to Long-Term Growth Momentum Remains Valid" Securities firms analyze that robot stocks, which had surged rapidly in the short term due to expectations for AI and humanoid industry growth, have entered a short-term correction phase. However, they evaluate that medium- to long-term growth prospects remain valid, as global big tech companies continue to expand their investments in robotics and demand for manufacturing and logistics automation increases. In particular, with the competition for commercializing humanoid robots intensifying, market attention is expected to remain focused on companies possessing core components, reducers, motors, and robot platform technologies.
