AP Systems, which recently experienced a sharp decline, is attempting a rebound supported by securities firms' analysis that the stock is undervalued.
As of 9:18 AM on the 10th, AP Systems is trading on the KOSDAQ market at 27,400 KRW, up 1,400 KRW (5.38%) from the previous close.
The stock opened at 26,550 KRW and expanded its gains during the session. The current trading volume is 190,000 shares, with a trading value of approximately 5.3 billion KRW.
Shinhan Investment Corp. stated in a report on the day that AP Systems is in an undervalued range and expects a potential re-rating in the second half of the year due to expansion in the semiconductor sector.
Namgung Hyun, Senior Researcher at Shinhan Investment Corp., said, "The sharp stock price decline since coverage initiation on May 8 was due to supply and demand factors," adding, "The semiconductor growth story remains valid, and the stock's attractiveness has increased."
He further explained, "The current stock price is below the mid-to-lower band at a 12MF price-to-earnings ratio (PER) of 5.8 times, indicating undervaluation considering the expansion of market share among semiconductor clients and portfolio diversification."
