[Market Focus] Unitec Hits Upper Price Limit on Hopes of Joining SK Hynix Supply Chain

Unitec soared to the upper price limit early in the trading session.

As of 9:05 a.m. on June 5, Unitec surged by 29.94% (3,230 won) from the previous day to reach the upper price limit of 14,020 won.

The sharp rise in share price was driven by news that Unitec may pass the qualification (quality) test for SK Hynix's HBM4 burn-in tester. The company reportedly passed the equipment performance evaluation, which is one of the qualification test stages, for SK Hynix recently.

The burn-in tester is a device that verifies whether chips operate normally under extreme temperature and voltage conditions, and it serves to detect defective wafers at an early stage. If Unitec is incorporated into SK Hynix's HBM4 supply chain in the future, a dramatic increase in sales is expected.
