Amid growing expectations for the power infrastructure sector driven by the expansion of AI data centers and the need to replace transmission and distribution networks, Taihan Cable showed strong performance, breaking the 30,000-won level during trading. The previous day's recovery of risk appetite in the U.S. stock market is also interpreted to have contributed to improving domestic investor sentiment.

As of the afternoon of the 10th, Taihan Cable is trading at 30,250 won, up 2,450 won (8.81%) from the previous trading day. As buying pressure expanded, the gain widened, pushing the stock into the 30,000-won range, which is considered a psychological benchmark.

■ U.S. Stock Market Rebound Drives Investor Sentiment Overnight, major indices in the New York Stock Exchange rose across the board, bolstered by strength in the semiconductor sector and a decline in international oil prices. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.27%, the S&P 500 rose 0.81%, and the Nasdaq Composite climbed 1.30%. The resurgence of buying centered on tech stocks appears to have had a positive impact on investor sentiment for domestic growth and industrial stocks.

■ U.S.-Iran Tension Remains a Market Uncertainty Variable However, the military standoff between the United States and Iran remains a factor amplifying market uncertainty. If tensions between the two countries prolong or conflicts escalate, international oil prices, logistics costs, and raw material prices could fluctuate. Conversely, if tensions ease, there is also a possibility that risk asset preference will recover, reducing pressure on the stock market.

■ Mid-to-Long-Term Power Grid Investment Expectations Serve as Key Momentum Independent of geopolitical risks, the cable industry is benefiting from expectations of expanded mid-to-long-term power grid investments. Power consumption is rapidly increasing due to the growth of the AI industry and data centers, and the need to expand power grids to replace aging transmission and distribution facilities and connect renewable energy generation facilities is also growing.

Taihan Cable focuses on power infrastructure businesses such as extra-high-voltage cables and submarine cables. Assessments suggest that forecasts for domestic and international power grid investments and the expansion of large-scale infrastructure projects could serve as catalysts stimulating investor sentiment for related stocks.

However, it is difficult to attribute today's sharp surge to a single specific catalyst. Analysts suggest it is more appropriate to interpret it as a complex reflection of the U.S. stock market's rise, improved supply and demand conditions for power equipment sector stocks, and expectations for growing global power demand.

Market participants believe that going forward, one should comprehensively monitor Taihan Cable's new order disclosures, the progress of overseas projects, the development of U.S.-Iran tensions, and trends in international oil prices and the U.S. stock market.
