Nuclear power-related stocks showed clearly divergent movements by individual stock in intraday trading on the 27th. Buying concentrated on power equipment, construction and materials, and some cable stocks, while public enterprise affiliates related to nuclear power such as Korea Electric Power (KEPCO), KEPCO Engineering & Construction, and KEPCO KPS failed to escape weakness, showing differentiated movements even within the 'nuclear power theme.'

In intraday trading, Doosan Enerbility rose 0.82% from the previous day to 86,500 won. Trading volume reached 6,428,927 shares, with the stock moving between 81,900 and 87,700 won during the session.

■ Mixed Gains and Losses for Small- and Mid-Cap Nuclear and Energy Stocks

Gains and losses were mixed among small- and mid-cap stocks related to nuclear power and power infrastructure. Woori Technology fell 1.70% to 12,130 won, while BHI dropped 2.16% to 63,400 won and KEPCO Industrial declined 1.43% to 13,080 won.

Among construction stocks, Daewoo Engineering & Construction showed strength, rising 6.02% to 20,250 won. Trading volume reached 19,532,612 shares. Hyundai Engineering & Construction fell 0.77% to 129,400 won, and GS E&C also slipped 0.79% to 37,500 won, showing divided directions within construction stocks.

Among cable stocks, Taihan Cable & Solution rose 4.26% to 29,400 won. Its intraday high was 29,900 won, and trading volume was tallied at 1,623,568 shares.

■ Why Don't Nuclear Power Stocks Move in One Direction?

Nuclear power-related stocks are connected to multiple industry groups including power generation facilities, design and maintenance, power equipment, construction, and cables, so even stocks classified under the same nuclear power theme may not move in the same direction. On this day as well, rather than all nuclear power stocks moving in one direction, a differentiated market by stock appeared, with LS ELECTRIC, Taihan Cable & Solution, and Doosan Enerbility rising while KEPCO, KEPCO Engineering & Construction, and KEPCO KPS falling.
