HLB (028300) shares surged more than 5% intraday on the 4th, climbing to the 34,000-won level. As of 12:51 p.m. that day, HLB was trading at 34,450 won, up 1,650 won (5.03%) from the previous trading day.

At the same time, HLB Group affiliates were also rising across the board, drawing market attention. HLB Innovation climbed more than 6%, while HLB Life Science rose more than 3%. With buying flowing into group stocks overall, attention is focused on whether HLB can hold the 34,000-won level until the market close.

However, as the regular trading session is still underway, the possibility of price swings late in the session cannot be ruled out. Whether HLB and its group stocks will continue their upward momentum after the weekend also remains to be seen.

Meanwhile, the KOSDAQ index is currently up more than 2%, trading in the 810 range. The index had recently fallen below the 800 level before recovering.
