Jusung Engineering plunged on the 24th, falling to the 140,000 won range, as investor sentiment contracted amid escalating military tensions between the United States and Iran. Following the steep sell-off dubbed 'Black Friday,' market attention is now focused on whether the stock can stage a rebound in next week's trading sessions.

According to the Korea Exchange, Jusung Engineering closed at 141,000 won on the KOSDAQ market on the 24th, down 22,900 won (-13.97%) from the previous trading day. As military tensions between the US and Iran escalated, risk-off sentiment toward risk assets strengthened significantly, which is analyzed to have widened the decline.

On this day, the domestic stock market recorded a crash virtually on the level of a 'Black Friday.' The KOSPI closed at 6,690.62, plunging 406.27 points (5.72%) from the previous trading day, and the KOSDAQ also fell in tandem. During the session, sell-side circuit breakers were triggered for both the KOSPI and the KOSDAQ, sharply increasing volatility.

Meanwhile, despite the short-term correction phase, interest remains in the mid- to long-term growth outlook of the domestic semiconductor and AI industries. President Lee Jae-myung announced the 'San Francisco AI Declaration' at the 'San Francisco AI Summit' held in San Francisco, USA, presenting a vision to foster South Korea as a key nation in the global AI supply chain. As a blueprint was laid out to expand AI semiconductor production bases and supply chains based on memory semiconductor competitiveness and to promote large-scale AI investment, attention is also focused on the mid- to long-term impact on the semiconductor equipment sector.

Investors are closely watching whether Jusung Engineering can form a rebound trend in next week's market following this sharp decline, or whether a consolidation phase will continue for the time being.
