Domestic renewable energy stocks showed mixed movements on the 29th, with direction varying by individual stock. Stock price directions diverged depending on specific business segments such as solar, wind, energy storage systems (ESS), and power infrastructure, leading to a differentiated market centered on individual stocks rather than a broad sector-wide rally.

Hanwha Solutions, KEPCO, and Others Show Strength

Among solar-related stocks, Hanwha Solutions demonstrated relatively strong momentum. As of the morning of the 29th, Hanwha Solutions traded at 25,100 won, up 4.80% from the previous trading day. After dipping to as low as 23,750 won during the session, it rose to 25,700 won, with trading volume exceeding 1.37 million shares.

OCI Holdings also traded at 185,700 won, up 0.65%. The intraday high was 203,000 won and the low was 178,000 won, showing significant price volatility. Hanwha Corporation recorded 88,300 won, up 1.73%.

Among power infrastructure stocks, Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) traded at 34,600 won, up 2.82%. It moved between 33,250 won and 34,750 won during the session, with trading volume surpassing 930,000 shares. Additionally, Dohwa Engineering and Geon Holdings each rose by 0.21%.

SK Etics Plunges Over 8%... Solar and Wind Stocks Weaken

Meanwhile, many solar and wind energy-related stocks failed to escape weakness. In particular, SK Etics traded at 44,400 won, down 8.83% from the previous trading day. Trading volume exceeded 3.6 million shares, marking the most active trading among renewable energy-related stocks, but selling pressure dominated.

Shinsung E&G recorded 12,820 won, down 6.15%, after dipping to as low as 12,250 won during the session. Geumyang Green Power also traded at 6,640 won, down 4.73%. In addition, Dasco and OCI fell by 4.80% and 4.04%, respectively.

HD Hyundai Energy Solutions traded at 107,500 won, down 3.76%. It rose to as high as 118,300 won during the session but failed to maintain the gains and turned lower. S Energy (3.19%), Daemyung Energy (2.87%), and GridWiz (2.49%) also declined together.

Solar-related stock SDN fell 0.99% to 599 won, and Faro dropped 1.81% to 542 won. Kolon Global, a stock related to renewable energy equipment and construction, also declined 2.41%, while SY (1.11%) and GNB Eco (1.71%) showed weakness as well.

Market Outlook and Investment Considerations

On this day, renewable energy stocks appeared to diverge based on supply and demand for individual stocks and the extent of recent price gains, rather than any common catalyst capable of lifting the entire sector simultaneously. While some large-cap stocks such as Hanwha Solutions and KEPCO rose, profit-taking sell-offs emerged in stocks related to solar modules, power generation businesses, and wind power generation, widening declines.

Going forward, the trajectory of renewable energy stocks is expected to be influenced by changes in domestic and international solar and wind policies, expansion of power grid investments, trade policies in major markets including the United States, power generation project orders, and factory operating rates. In periods where individual stock fluctuations widen significantly, investors need to examine corporate fundamentals, such as new order intake, revenue growth, and profitability improvement, rather than simply considering thematic inclusion.
