Cosmax is showing a strong upward trend, surging more than 8% during the session, fueled by news of the launch of an export support platform for its client companies.

As of 1:41 p.m. on the 27th, Cosmax is trading at 192,800 won, up 8.07% (14,400 won) from the previous trading day. Intraday trading volume recorded around 146,000 shares, reflecting a concentration of buying interest. The stock expanded its gains from the early hours of the session, reclaiming the 190,000-won level.

The upward momentum is interpreted to stem from news that Cosmax is unveiling an import-export platform designed to support its clients' overseas expansion. The platform aims to improve the efficiency of export operations for clients seeking to enter the global market and to help them expand their overseas sales channels.

The market expects that amid the continued global growth of K-beauty, Cosmax's operation of overseas production bases and its strategy of expanding its client base will lead to mid- to long-term earnings improvement.

Securities firms are also paying attention to the likelihood of sustained earnings momentum, driven by the growth of overseas subsidiaries and the expansion of global clients. They project that the introduction of the new platform will have a positive impact on client acquisition and overseas revenue growth.
