Hanmi Semiconductor (042700) closed the regular trading session at the 200,000 won level on the 24th, amid a sharp decline in the domestic stock market. However, as it partially recovered losses in the after-hours NXT (after-hours single-price auction) trading following the market close, investor attention is now focused on the stock's direction in the last week of July.

According to the Korea Exchange (KRX) on the 24th, Hanmi Semiconductor finished trading at 200,000 won, down 16,000 won (-7.41%) from the previous trading day. The decline came amid an overall weakness in semiconductor stocks. Meanwhile, in the NXT session conducted after the regular market close, it finished at 201,000 won, slightly higher than the regular session's closing price. The loss also narrowed to -6.94%, somewhat improving after-hours investor sentiment.

On this day, the domestic stock market plunged as risk-off sentiment spread due to escalating geopolitical tensions between the United States and Iran. The KOSPI closed at 6,690.62, down 406.27 points (-5.72%) from the previous trading day, with selling pressure continuing across large-cap tech stocks, including semiconductors.

Recently, domestic semiconductor-related stocks have shown increasing price volatility in line with global semiconductor investment sentiment and AI (artificial intelligence)-related demand outlook. As a result, whether Hanmi Semiconductor can defend the 200,000 won level going forward is drawing market attention.

With various variables at play, including the trend of U.S. semiconductor stocks, domestic supply and demand dynamics, and geopolitical risks, market watchers are closely monitoring at what price level Hanmi Semiconductor's shares will finish the month of July.
