Despite expectations related to nuclear power and defense, Woori Technology showed a sharp decline during trading due to the resurfacing of geopolitical risks in the Middle East.

According to the Korea Exchange on the 26th, Woori Technology traded at 11,170 won during the session, down 1,030 won (8.44%) from the previous day. The intraday high was 12,140 won, and the low was 11,050 won.

Trading volume reached 3,810,715 shares, with a trading value of 43.599 billion won, while the market capitalization maintained a level of approximately 1.9168 trillion won.

Woori Technology operates various businesses including nuclear power control and instrumentation, defense, and railways, and had recently reflected policy expectations and overseas order expectations for nuclear power-related stocks. However, on this day, it is interpreted that profit-taking sell-offs emerged as overall market volatility expanded.

In particular, the renewed unease in the ceasefire situation between the United States and Iran acted as a major burden on investor sentiment. As reports came in that armed conflicts had recurred just nine days after the two countries signed a memorandum of understanding on ending the war, Middle East risks once again came to the forefront of the stock market. The renewed spread of Middle East tensions is a key variable that could affect energy prices and global stock market trends.

Experts analyzed that while nuclear power stocks may garner interest in the mid-to-long term in conjunction with energy security issues, stock price volatility could expand in the short term if the psychology of avoiding risky assets grows. The market believes that the future stock price trend of Woori Technology will be determined by nuclear power policy momentum, overseas order expectations, Middle East geopolitical risks, and changes in domestic stock market supply and demand.
