Domestic robot-related stocks are declining across the board during the morning session on the 19th. A wave of profit-taking sell-offs following recent short-term surges is spreading selling pressure throughout the sector.

As of mid-session, Huren Robotics traded at 9,990 won, down 4.58% from the previous trading day. Rainbow Robotics fell 3.74% to 592,000 won, while Doosan Robotics also dropped 1.46% to 101,200 won. Other major robot stocks also failed to avoid weakness, including Eugene Robotics (-4.84%), Hyundai Movex (-4.01%), Robotis (-3.49%), Robostar (-6.94%), Neuromeca (-7.26%), and Everybot (-6.51%).

The market attributes the selling pressure to concerns about short-term overheating, as related stocks had surged sharply driven by recent expectations for the artificial intelligence (AI) and humanoid robot industries. In particular, some stocks entered a correction phase after hitting their yearly highs, making investors' profit-taking moves more pronounced.

On the other hand, some stocks showed relatively strong momentum. P&S Robotics rose more than 12%, and KRM also recorded gains.

From a mid-to-long-term perspective, positive outlooks remain dominant. With the competition to develop humanoid robots intensifying, particularly in the United States, and domestic companies expanding their related businesses, the growth momentum of the robot industry is considered intact. However, in the short term, price fluctuations driven by high volatility and changes in supply and demand appear inevitable.

The securities industry expects that while the robot sector is highly regarded for its growth potential in tandem with AI, manufacturing automation, and logistics innovation, stock price polarization among individual stocks will become more pronounced depending on their future earnings and order performance.
