Woori Technology (032820) closed trading on the KOSDAQ market on July 8 at 9,810 won, down 1,060 won (-9.75%) from the previous day.

On this day, Woori Technology opened at 10,410 won and rose to as high as 10,660 won during the session, but selling pressure intensified thereafter, pushing the stock down to a low of 9,800 won. Trading volume was recorded at 2,999,330 shares, with a trading value of 30,282 million won.

Woori Technology, classified as a nuclear power instrumentation and control system-related stock, underwent a sharp correction due to the fallout from the renewed armed conflict between the United States and Iran. The two countries, which had previously agreed to a ceasefire through an MOU in Islamabad in the middle of last month, returned to a head-on confrontation after just 20 days.

In retaliation for an attack on a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. military resumed large-scale airstrikes on Iran and abruptly withdrew its sanctions waiver on Iranian oil. Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps immediately launched counterattacks, striking 85 targets including U.S. military bases in Bahrain and Kuwait.

The future trajectory of the war will likely hinge on whether the United States exercises additional military options and the level of Iran's response in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has previously warned that it could completely blockade the strait if negotiations collapse, making it impossible to rule out the renewed spread of anxiety in the oil and energy markets.

Typically, when geopolitical risks originating from the Middle East intensify, nuclear power-related stocks tend to gain attention as an alternative for energy security. However, on this day, a strong risk-off sentiment across the broader stock market meant that nuclear power theme stocks were also unable to avoid a coordinated decline.

Woori Technology's market capitalization stands at 1.6834 trillion won, ranking 51st on the KOSDAQ by market capitalization. The number of listed shares is 171,605,186, and foreign-held shares total 11,176,981, resulting in a foreign ownership ratio of 6.51%.

Looking at valuation metrics, as of March 2026, the PER is 48.56 times, and the EPS is 202 won, while the estimated PER and estimated EPS are N/A. The PBR is 10.17 times, and the BPS is 965 won, with the dividend yield at N/A. The industry-average PER is 41.65 times, and the industry change rate is recorded at -8.51%.

As the potential for escalation between the United States and Iran is cited as a key variable that will determine the future direction of the energy and industrial sectors, including nuclear power-related stocks, market attention is expected to remain focused on related negotiations and military movements.
