Daehan Optical Communication closed higher on the KOSDAQ market on the 16th. It finished the session at 19,400 won, up 440 won (2.32%) from the previous trading day, with its market capitalization recorded in the 3.1 trillion won range.

The stock price opened at 19,260 won before rising to as high as 20,600 won during the session, driven by steady inflows of buying. However, profit-taking sell orders emerged near the highs, resulting in a partial relinquishment of gains and a close in the 19,000 won range. Trading volume exceeded 15.89 million shares, and the trading value also surpassed 310 billion won, reflecting strong market interest.

Recently, Daehan Optical Communication has been drawing keen attention from investors as expectations grow for the expansion of its ultra-high-density optical cable and optical communication infrastructure businesses. The trend is driven by the spread of the artificial intelligence (AI) industry coupled with a competitive race to build large-scale data centers, which is increasing the demand for optical communication networks capable of high-capacity data transmission. In particular, as global big tech companies expand their investments in AI infrastructure and actively build hyperscale data centers, expectations for growth in the optical cable market are also rising.

The industry is paying close attention to the potential benefits for optical communication-related companies, as securing network processing capacity and transmission speed becomes increasingly critical with the expansion of AI services. The securities sector also analyzes that increased investment in AI data centers, cloud, and next-generation communication networks could create a favorable environment for the optical communication industry over the mid to long term. However, some point out that stock price volatility could widen depending on changes in industry conditions, investor sentiment, and global economic trends.

Investors are closely monitoring future new order intakes, potential business expansion related to data centers, and global telecommunications infrastructure investment trends as key variables.
