As of 1:31 p.m. on the 21st, domestic robot-related stocks are showing broad strength as they enter the afternoon session, drawing investors' attention.

In particular, Cosmo Robotics led the rally, surging as much as 30.00%, hitting the daily price limit. Among major large-cap stocks, Rainbow Robotics rose 11.73% from the previous trading day to 419,000 won. Doosan Robotics was also trading 3.88% higher at 64,200 won.

Small and mid-cap robot stocks are also on a steady rise. Robotics climbed 7.22% (197,500 won), Hurim Robot gained 7.28% (6,480 won), and Yuil Robotics rose 5.56% (60,700 won). In addition, Clobot (+9.63%), CMES (+6.65%), Angel Robotics (+6.40%), Neuromeca (+6.03%), Robostar (+5.68%), SBVitech (+5.47%), Eugene Robotics (+5.38%), and Tirobotics (+5.00%) all posted gains across the board.

Not only robot stocks but also automation and smart factory-related stocks rose in tandem, reflecting an improvement in investment sentiment across the sector. POSCO DX (+0.97%), SFA (+0.85%), and Zeus (+0.44%) all remained in positive territory.

However, there is a possibility that profit-taking sell-offs may emerge in the latter part of the session, and attention is focused on whether the current bullish trend can continue until market close.
