Padu (440110) settled at the upper price limit during the afternoon session on the 31st, successfully staging a strong rebound and breaking a three-session losing streak.

As of 2:15 p.m. on the 31st, Padu surged 29.92% (14,600 won) from the previous trading day to reach 63,400 won, hitting the daily price limit. Buy orders flowed in during the session, with the stock securing its position at the upper limit heading into the afternoon.

Padu had closed lower for three consecutive trading days from the 28th to the 30th, but rebounded on this day, emerging from its correction phase.

At the same time, both the KOSPI and KOSDAQ maintained double-digit gains, continuing their strong run. As risk appetite spread across the broader market, buying pressure concentrated in leading sectors including semiconductors, AI, and power equipment. The domestic stock market's record-breaking strength on this day, which improved overall investment sentiment in the semiconductor sector, is also interpreted to have positively contributed to Padu's share price rally.

However, the market is also keeping a close eye on the potential for expanded volatility following the sharp short-term gains. Key variables that will determine the future direction of the stock price include earnings performance, supply and demand dynamics, and changes in industry conditions.
