Cosmetics company Witch Factory (439090) closed higher in the regular trading session before reversing to a downward trend in after-hours trading (NXT).

According to the securities market on the 12th, Witch Factory finished the regular session at 19,600 won, up 470 won (2.46%) from the previous trading day. During the session, the stock surged to as high as 21,250 won, demonstrating strong upward momentum.

On the same day, the KOSDAQ index also recorded 858.91, up 1.07 points (0.12%) from the previous trading day, driving an overall bullish market sentiment.

However, the sentiment reversed in the after-hours NXT (regular after-hours trading), which opens after the regular session closes. As of 6:13 p.m., Witch Factory was traded at 18,270 won, down 860 won (4.50%) from the regular session's closing price, nearing selling pressure.

Given Witch Factory's recently expanded stock price volatility, attention in the securities industry is focused on whether the weakness observed in after-hours NXT trading will continue into future market sessions, including the next trading day. Investors' attention is expected to remain concentrated on the stock's further directional movement.
