Daehan Optical Communication closed the session on the 25th at 14,370 won, unchanged from the previous trading day, maintaining a flat trend. According to the Korea Exchange, its market capitalization stood at approximately 2.2343 trillion won as of this date, ranking 43rd on the KOSDAQ. While the stock price has been moving sideways, the market continues to hold expectations that the expansion of optical communication infrastructure investment, driven by the proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) data centers, could serve as a mid-to-long-term growth engine.

As AI services become more advanced and cloud infrastructure expansions continue, interest is growing regarding the increasing demand for optical cables. The securities industry is paying attention to the possibility that the business environment for optical cable manufacturers will improve, given the steady rise in demand for building optical communication networks for ultra-high-speed data transmission in line with the expansion of AI data centers. In particular, large-scale AI infrastructure investments centered on North America are cited as a growth momentum for related companies.

In a new corporate analysis report on Daehan Optical Communication released on May 6, Korea Investment Securities assessed that the company is expected to benefit from the ongoing optical cable supply shortage. Notably, it positively analyzed the trickle-down effect from supply constraints in the global optical cable market, as well as the company's entry into the North American AI infrastructure value chain.

The market views the future expansion of global AI investment, the pace of data center capacity additions, and trends in optical communication infrastructure investment as key variables that will impact Daehan Optical Communication's stock price.
