[Special Stock] Hanmi Semiconductor Rises on Micron Tailwind

Domestic semiconductor equipment company Hanmi Semiconductor's stock price is showing strength.

As of 2:08 PM on the 26th, Hanmi Semiconductor is trading at 5.82% higher (112,800 KRW), at 5.82% compared to the previous trading day.

The reason for the stock price's upward trend today is interpreted as the concerns about the semiconductor peak theory being somewhat alleviated after the global third-largest memory company, US-based Micron Technology, posted an earnings surprise.

Hanmi Semiconductor has continued its upward trend for five consecutive trading days from the 20th to today. On the 25th, it closed higher following news of its inclusion in the 'Korea Value-Up Index.'

Researcher Lee Surim of DS Investment & Securities recently forecasted that Hanmi Semiconductor's third-quarter earnings will be 194.2 billion KRW in sales and 81.6 billion KRW in operating profit, representing increases of 523% and 2713%, respectively, compared to the same period last year. This performance exceeds the securities industry's average earnings forecast (consensus) anticipating strong third-quarter results for Hanmi Semiconductor.
