Daehan Gwangtongsin demonstrated a strong presence, recording an increase of over 10% amid a trend where the KOSPI reached an all-time high alongside a historic rebound. As investment sentiment, which had been dampened by the previous day's plunge, recovered rapidly, a flood of buying poured into the stock in anticipation of benefits related to communication infrastructure and artificial intelligence (AI).
According to the Korea Exchange on the 9th, Daehan Gwangtongsin finished trading at 18,340 won, up 1,760 won (10.62%) from the previous trading day. During the session, it soared to as high as 20,250 won, showing strong momentum that approached the daily limit price. The trading volume for the day reached 23,664,273 shares, and the trading value recorded approximately 444.6 billion won, reflecting the market's high interest. The market capitalization was calculated at 2.8516 trillion won.
On this day, the domestic stock market successfully achieved a powerful rebound, recovering a significant portion of the shock from the previous day's crash. The KOSPI closed at 8,096.93, up 612.52 points (8.18%) from the previous trading day. This not only surpassed this year's high but also reached the highest level ever recorded based on the closing price. The market analyzes that investment sentiment improved as the Middle East risk, which had acted as an anxiety factor after the military actions of the United States and Israel, somewhat subsided. In particular, strong low-price buying flowed in, centering on semiconductor and tech stocks, which had seen concentrated panic selling the previous day.
Researcher Kang Jin-hyuk of Shinhan Investment Securities analyzed in a report titled 'Bipolar KOSPI,' 'After the circuit breaker was triggered the previous day, low-price buying flowed into the KOSPI, and a buy-side circuit breaker was triggered today.' Researcher Lee Kyung-min from Daishin Securities also explained, 'As the negative factors that caused the short-term plunge were mitigated and resolved, low-price buying flowed into the domestic stock market,' adding, 'In particular, the increase was markedly evident centering on large-cap semiconductors, which had experienced excessive declines.'
In terms of industry outlook, Daehan Gwangtongsin is a stock that is consistently mentioned for its expected benefits from the expansion of data centers, AI servers, and ultra-fast communication networks based on its optical fiber and optical cable sectors. As the global competition for AI infrastructure investment expands recently, the importance of optical communication infrastructure for transmitting large-capacity data is being re-highlighted. In particular, there is a growing interest in optical communication-related companies, driven by the forecast that demand for building ultra-fast networks between data centers will increase as the AI industry advances.
