Hanmi Semiconductor (042700) closed at the upper limit on the KRX main board on the 15th, recovering the 260,000 won level for the first time since July 1.

The closing price for the day was 269,500 won, up 62,000 won (29.88%) from the previous trading day, rising to the daily price limit. Strong buying interest flowed in from early in the session, steadily expanding gains before reaching the upper limit.

The rally was driven by improved investor sentiment across the semiconductor sector. The U.S. June Consumer Price Index (CPI) came in below market expectations, easing interest rate burdens, and foreign and institutional buying broadly flowed into major semiconductor stocks such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix. Among them, liquidity was particularly concentrated in Hanmi Semiconductor, a leading equipment stock, resulting in an exceptionally sharp gain.

Hanmi Semiconductor also released its preliminary second-quarter results on the 14th. Q2 revenue stood at 251.16 billion won, up 393.4% quarter-on-quarter and 39.5% year-on-year. Operating profit reached 130.34 billion won, up 1,441.4% from the previous quarter and up 51.0% compared to the same period last year (86.30 billion won).

Going forward, market attention remains focused on how expectations for a semiconductor industry recovery, foreign inflows, and earnings momentum will influence the stock's trajectory.
