During trading hours on the 9th, as military tensions between the United States and Iran reignited, investor interest in energy security and the nuclear power industry surged dramatically. Consequently, a wave of buying poured into companies related to nuclear power plant equipment and decommissioning, sending related stock prices higher in tandem.

• As of the morning of that day, the trends of major nuclear power-related stocks were as follows:
• Woori Technology: Traded at 10,300 won, up 4.99% from the previous trading day
• Orbitech: Recorded 4,855 won, up 3.19%
• Doosan Enerbility: Continued its upward trend at 75,600 won, up 2.16%
• BHI: Traded at 45,650 won, up 1.33%
• Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KEPCO E&C): Recorded 97,100 won, up 2.32%
• Woojin: Recorded 14,040 won, up 2.26%

The broad strength across the nuclear power value chain is driven by the expanding uncertainty in the international energy market stemming from geopolitical risks. As nuclear power is recognized as a stable baseload power source and countries push to expand their nuclear power policies to strengthen energy security, the value of related companies is being re-evaluated.

In particular, the 'nuclear plant decommissioning market,' driven by the increasing number of aging nuclear power plants, is drawing attention as a long-term growth industry. Companies possessing nuclear power plant equipment, maintenance, radioactive waste treatment, and decommissioning technologies are expected to benefit significantly if domestic and international decommissioning projects expand in the future.

However, caution is necessary when investing. Market experts advise that "short-term investment sentiment driven by geopolitical issues and actual improvements in corporate earnings need to be viewed separately." They cautioned that nuclear power-related stocks can exhibit high price volatility depending on policy changes, new order wins, and the progress of overseas projects, so investors should carefully examine each company's fundamentals and order competitiveness before investing.
