Secondary battery and all-solid-state battery-related stocks showed broadly weak performance during the morning session on the 23rd. Selling pressure flowed into major battery stocks due to a U.S. tech stock correction and shrinking investment sentiment toward growth stocks.

Large-Cap Battery Stocks Fall Across the Board

As of the morning of that day, Samsung SDI was traded at 504,000 won, down 5.44% from the previous trading day. During the session, it slipped to as low as 502,000 won, widening its decline. LG Energy Solution was formed at 382,500 won, down 0.78%, and SK Innovation at 99,000 won, down 1.20%.

All-Solid-State Battery and Materials Stocks Also Weaken

All-solid-state battery-related stocks were also unable to escape the downward trend. Hanon Chemical fell 2.66%, Isu Specialty Chemical 2.18%, CIS 2.93%, and Wonjun 4.99%. Daejoo Electronic Materials also dropped 6.24%.

Among battery materials stocks, Cheonbo (2.80%), Deoksanteopia (5.04%), Dongwha Enterprise (2.78%), and EV Advanced Materials (4.33%) all declined, continuing the bearish trend.

Some Stocks Rise... Lotte Energy Materials Up 2.84%

On the other hand, some stocks showed strength. Lotte Energy Materials was traded at 48,900 won, up 2.84%, while Mico rose 2.15% and IL 2.26%, drawing market attention.

Short-Term Burden vs. Mid-to-Long-Term Expectations

The market analyzes that concerns over slowing electric vehicle demand and global economic uncertainty are putting short-term pressure on investment sentiment in the battery sector. However, all-solid-state batteries are evaluated as a next-generation technology expected to improve energy density and safety, meaning that mid-to-long-term growth expectations remain valid. As global automakers and battery companies are accelerating the race toward commercialization, interest in related materials and equipment companies is expected to persist.

The securities industry expects that despite expanded short-term volatility, the outcomes of all-solid-state battery technology development, mass production schedules, and the recovery of the global battery market will be key variables for future stock price trends.
