With LIG Defense & Aerospace's (079550) share price falling below the 500,000-won mark and sliding into the 460,000-won range, market attention is focused on the direction of trading in the new trading week beginning on the 26th. How the news of the Defense Acquisition Program Administration's review of additional sanctions will affect the stock price is also drawing attention.

Share Price Falls Below 500,000-Won Level On the 23rd, LIG Defense & Aerospace closed at 465,500 won on the KOSPI market, down 17,500 won (3.62%) from the previous trading day. As the decline exceeded 3%, the situation could heighten investors' caution regarding the short-term stock price trend. The current share price shows a gap of 34,500 won from the 500,000-won level, and whether the stock can recover that price level even if it attempts a rebound is expected to be a key point of interest.

Defense Acquisition Program Administration Requests Review of Revoking Defense Contractor Designation Meanwhile, the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) announced on the 25th that it had asked the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy to review whether to revoke LIG Defense & Aerospace's designation as a defense contractor in connection with the counter-drone system project. The case is linked to an incident in which a company executive was indicted on charges of providing money and valuables to a DAPA official. The company has already been subject to sanctions restricting its bidding eligibility for two years. The company reportedly expressed regret over the sanction moves and stated its intention to clarify its position through due procedures.

New Week's Trading on the 26th Is Key Accordingly, in the first trading session of the new week on the 26th, it will be necessary to watch not only the stock price movement but also how the market reacts to the news of these sanctions. The key question is whether the share price, which has fallen to the 460,000-won range, will recover its losses and lay the groundwork for reclaiming the 500,000-won level, or whether it will face further selling pressure. Attention is focused on what trend LIG Defense & Aerospace, which showed weakness in the 3% range in the previous session, will display in the new week.
