Domestic shipbuilding stocks showed weakness across the board. This is the result of shrinking investor sentiment as profit-taking sell-offs poured in following recent sharp gains. Meanwhile, Dongil Steelrac, a shipbuilding equipment-related stock, recorded a double-digit gain, drawing market attention.

As of the morning, Hanwha Ocean is trading at 117,100 won, down 11,300 won (8.80%) from the previous trading day. After opening at 128,400 won early in the session, it widened its losses, falling to as low as 116,300 won during the day. The trading volume so far is 2,702,188 shares.

HD Hyundai Heavy Industries closed at 638,000 won, down 29,000 won (4.35%). The intraday high was 676,000 won, and the low was 630,500 won. Samsung Heavy Industries also traded at 26,325 won, down 1,225 won (4.45%), while Daehan Shipbuilding was recorded at 57,900 won, down 4.46%. HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering recorded 406,750 won, down 2.92%, and HJ Heavy Industries recorded 21,650 won, down 2.91%, as shipbuilding stocks overall failed to escape the downward trend.

On the other hand, Dongil Steelrac traded at 1,590 won, up 195 won (13.98%), showing a contrast to the broader market trend. It rose to as high as 1,770 won during the session, displaying strength, with a trading volume of 2,315,856 shares.

The market analyzes that shipbuilding stocks, which had recently shown sharp gains, have entered a correction phase due to short-term profit-taking pressure. However, expectations for industry improvement, such as increasing global ship orders and expanding demand for eco-friendly vessels, remain valid, and attention is focusing on future stock price trends.
