GigaByte surged more than 8% during trading based on market expectations for semiconductor substrate inspection equipment, triggering and subsequently lifting a Volatility Indication (VI).

As of 1:59 p.m. on the 30th, GigaByte is trading at 190,000 won, up 14,500 won (8.26%) from the previous trading day. The VI, which was triggered due to the sharp rise in stock price during trading, was lifted at 1:59 p.m. the same day, and normal trading resumed.

GigaByte is a company that primarily supplies optical inspection machines and repair equipment used in the inner layer inspection and repair processes of semiconductor substrates. As it possesses core equipment that precisely detects and repairs minute defects in semiconductor substrates, it is drawing attention as a key beneficiary in the industry alongside the growth of the high-specification semiconductor packaging market.

The stock market analyzes that the importance of advanced packaging processes has grown due to the expansion of demand for artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance semiconductors, which has significantly improved investment sentiment toward inspection and measuring equipment companies. Bolstered by these expectations, buying pressure flowed in during trading, leading to a sharp rise in the stock price.

However, the VI is merely a market stabilization mechanism designed to mitigate short-term price volatility and does not guarantee the future direction of the stock price. Going forward, GigaByte's stock price trend is expected to be influenced by various factors, including semiconductor industry conditions, the trend of expanding AI investment, and changes in market supply and demand.
