Domestic lithium and secondary battery material-related stocks are simultaneously recording strong upward trends, attracting market attention. As explosive buying volume spreads across the entire battery value chain, lithium production, materials, and recycling companies are surging together.

In the morning session on the 29th, Enchem led the rally with a surge of over 20%. Ecopro, a leading secondary battery stock, also skyrocketed by more than 17%, driving a recovery in investment sentiment across the sector. Alongside this, Lithium Porous and Jungang Chomdan Materials posted double-digit gains, while Huseong, a leading electrolyte materials company, and Hydro Lithium, buoyed by expectations of an expanded lithium business, both trended upward. Notably, Daebo Magnetic and Apteon surged to their daily price limits, demonstrating strong buying pressure.

In addition, a wide range of stocks across the secondary battery and lithium value chains rose together, including POSCO Future M, LG Energy Solution, LG Chem, POSCO Holdings, POSCO M-Tech, Kangwon Energy, Mirae Nanotech, Sungil Hitech, Saebit Chem, and Gwangmu. On this day, lithium-related stocks formed a broad-based rally spanning from battery materials to lithium refining, recycling, electrolytes, and magnetic materials companies, clearly reflecting an improvement in market investment sentiment.

Analysts attribute the rally to bargain hunting flowing into the recently corrected secondary battery sector, which is once again highlighting medium- to long-term growth expectations for the global electric vehicle market. Furthermore, the competition to secure core battery raw materials and the expansion of the energy storage system (ESS) market are cited as key factors elevating the growth expectations of lithium-related companies.

However, experts assessed, "While expectations for an industry recovery are valid, future factors such as lithium prices, global electric vehicle sales, and battery companies' investment plans will be the key variables determining stock price trends." They also added that as stock price volatility may widen for individual stocks depending on raw material price fluctuations and supply-demand changes, a prudent approach is necessary.
