Hanmi Semiconductor closed down more than 11% on the 2nd. The decline is interpreted as mainly driven by shrinking investor sentiment, as major semiconductor stocks such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix fell amid a broad downturn in both the KOSPI and KOSDAQ.

According to the Korea Exchange, Hanmi Semiconductor finished trading at 219,500 won, down 29,000 won (11.76%) from the previous trading day. During the session, the price fell as low as 215,500 won, with selling pressure continuing.

On the same day, both the KOSPI and KOSDAQ indices closed lower. As foreign and institutional investors took profits, selling expanded primarily in large-cap tech stocks, including semiconductors. Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, the top semiconductor stocks by market capitalization, also declined together. The impact spilled over to Hanmi Semiconductor, a semiconductor equipment stock, where profit-taking sell orders concentrated, causing the share price to drop sharply.

The market analyzes that the sharp decline in Hanmi Semiconductor was amplified as concerns over the semiconductor sector's recent short-term gains coincided with weakness in major semiconductor stocks.
