CBC News

As of the afternoon of the 13th, nuclear decommissioning-related stocks are showing collective weakness in the domestic stock market. Woojin, Bitsrotech, Orbitech, S&L, and Withtech declined, and large-cap stocks related to nuclear power equipment and maintenance are also undergoing a joint correction.

■ Nuclear Decommissioning Theme Stock Market Trends Woojin is trading at 14,280 won, down 1,130 won from the previous trading day, marking a decline of 7.33%. Bitsrotech fell 6.91%, trading at 8,080 won, down 600 won. It opened at 8,720 won today and rose to 8,890 won during the session before dropping to 8,060 won, with the current price sitting 20 won above the intraday low.

Orbitech is down 6.37%, trading at 4,700 won. The opening price was 5,050 won, rising to 5,200 won intraday before falling to 4,675 won, with a traded volume of 257,355 shares. S&L is trading at 2,500 won, down 5.12%. The intraday high was 2,635 won and the low was 2,485 won, with a relatively low trading volume of 8,240 shares compared to other related stocks.

Withtech is trading at 8,930 won, down 70 won from the previous trading day, a decline of 0.78%. It rose to 9,300 won intraday before being pushed back to 8,500 won, but subsequently recovered a significant portion of the drop. While the current decline rate is smaller than other stocks, the intraday high-low spread reached 800 won, suggesting it is more accurate to view this as a partial recovery following intraday volatility rather than simply limited downside.

■ Nuclear Industry Large-Caps Also Weaken Doosan Enerbility is trading at 73,200 won, down 6.27%. It rose to 80,500 won intraday before falling to 73,100 won, with a trading volume of 3,660,522 shares. Woori Technology is at 10,700 won, down 4.55%, with an intraday high of 12,420 won and a low of 10,680 won. Its trading volume stands at 3,630,395 shares, showing active trading alongside Doosan Enerbility.

Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) is trading at 96,800 won, down 5.28%. It rose to 105,600 won intraday before dropping to 96,700 won, remaining below the 100,000-won level. KEPCO KPS is down 4.46% at 43,900 won, having risen to 46,850 won intraday before retreating to 43,800 won, with the current price 100 won above the intraday low. BHI is trading at 46,200 won, down 4.45%, recording an intraday high of 51,100 won and a low of 46,000 won.

Hyundai Engineering & Construction is down 6.25%, trading at 100,500 won. It rose to 109,200 won intraday before being pushed down to 100,200 won, leaving the current price hovering near the intraday low. Wonil T&I is down 7.79% at 7,810 won, KNR Systems is down 7.15% at 9,870 won, and Daechang Solution is down 4.22% at 1,544 won.

Meanwhile, Hantec is trading at 24,400 won, up 150 won from the previous trading day, showing a different trend with a 0.62% gain. It rose to 26,300 won intraday before giving back some of the gains.

■ Sharp Decline Does Not Change Mid- to Long-Term Outlook It is difficult to conclude that the mid- to long-term outlook for the nuclear decommissioning industry has changed based solely on today's market prices. Even among stocks grouped as nuclear decommissioning-related, each company has a different actual revenue structure, proportion of related business, and order backlog. Some stocks are directly linked to nuclear decommissioning and radiation management, while others are included as related stocks based on the broader nuclear industry, encompassing nuclear construction, maintenance, instrumentation, and power generation equipment. This is why companies' performance and growth potential should not be evaluated uniformly based solely on the theme name.

In particular, given that many stocks retreated rapidly from intraday highs today, caution is needed against prematurely anticipating a rebound based solely on short-term losses. Investors should individually examine each company's proportion of nuclear-related revenue, order performance, profitability, and financial condition.
