On the 2nd, domestic nuclear power and nuclear decommissioning-related stocks fell across the board. As investor sentiment shrank due to the weakness in U.S. semiconductor stocks and domestic large-cap semiconductor stocks, profit-taking sell-offs flooded into nuclear power-related stocks that had recently posted large gains.

As of the afternoon session that day, Doosan Enerbility traded at 87,600 won, down 900 won (1.02%) from the previous trading day. Wooyeol dropped 900 won (7.17%) to 11,650 won, and BHI fell 3,200 won (5.30%) to 57,200 won, widening their declines. In addition, other nuclear power and decommissioning-related stocks such as KEPCO E&C, Orbitech, and Woojin also followed a downward trend.

On the same day, both the KOSPI and KOSDAQ markets also showed overall weakness as the decline of domestic semiconductor stocks such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix continued. As investors' risk appetite diminished, selling pressure spread to nuclear power-related stocks.

The nuclear decommissioning industry is evaluated as a medium- to long-term growth industry due to the phased decommissioning of aging nuclear power plants and increasing demand for radioactive waste treatment. Key stocks include Doosan Enerbility, which possesses core nuclear power equipment and decommissioning technology capabilities; Wooyeol, a specialist in instrumentation and control systems; and BHI, which engages in power generation facilities and nuclear power equipment businesses.

The market analyzes that as the trend of strengthening global energy security and expanding nuclear power generation continues, the medium- to long-term growth potential of the industry remains valid. However, some point out that in the short term, stock price fluctuations of related stocks may widen depending on domestic and international stock market volatility and supply-demand conditions.
