Amid the continued weakness in the domestic stock market, Hyundai Movex is plunging nearly 5% during trading hours. As the weakness in U.S. semiconductor stocks spreads to investment sentiment for domestic tech stocks, profit-taking sell-offs are flooding the market.

During the morning session on the 2nd, Hyundai Movex is trading at 24,200 won, down 1,250 won (4.91%) from the previous trading day. The selling-dominant trend has continued since the early part of the session, pushing the stock price down to the 24,000 won level.

On the same day, both the KOSPI and KOSDAQ showed weakness. Following the overnight weakness of semiconductor-related stocks in the U.S. stock market, sell-offs flowed into major domestic semiconductor stocks such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, dampening overall market investment sentiment.

In this atmosphere, AI and automation-related stocks also experienced a collective correction. Hyundai Movex, too, saw an expansion of its decline as profit-taking volumes poured in on its recent gains.

Hyundai Movex's core businesses include smart logistics automation, smart factory construction, and logistics center automation equipment. While expectations for medium- to long-term growth continue as the AI industry expands and digital transformation in manufacturing sites persists, the stock is being influenced in the short term by global tech stock trends and changes in domestic market supply and demand.

While the market projects that AI infrastructure investment expansion and the growth of the logistics automation market will continue, attention is focused on the possibility that U.S. semiconductor stock trends and domestic market volatility will dictate the direction of related stock prices for the time being.
