DIIT is showing strength. It appears that the securities firm's analysis, which expects an increase in sales of laser annealing equipment for semiconductors, has had an impact.
As of 9:49 AM on the 13th, DIIT was trading at 25,200 KRW, up 1,450 KRW (6.11%) compared to the previous trading day.
DIIT primarily supplies inspection equipment (AOI) for semiconductors, displays, secondary batteries, and automobiles, as well as laser annealing equipment for semiconductors.
Kim Min-kyung, a researcher at Hana Securities, said, "Although sales of display-oriented AOI equipment, which accounted for a large portion of revenue, are decreasing, this is expected to be offset by an increase in sales of laser annealing equipment for semiconductors. With the expansion of the proportion of laser equipment, which has higher margins compared to AOI equipment, operating profit is expected to rise significantly compared to the previous year."
He explained, "As DRAM miniaturization and NAND high-layering progress, the adoption of laser annealing processes is increasing. In particular, it is understood that the introduction of laser annealing processes will be actively carried out in NAND with more than 300 layers." He added, "DIIT is also expected to supply laser equipment not only for DRAM but also for NAND starting next year, and it is anticipated that additional customer acquisition will be possible."
