KOSDAQ IPOs Attract AI, Biotech, and Semiconductor Firms... Can It Become a Growth Market Beyond Themes?

Last year, the KOSDAQ IPO market saw a significant influx of companies from advanced industries such as artificial intelligence, biotechnology, semiconductors, and defense, raising market expectations. Nearly half of the newly listed companies were from these advanced sectors, marking a clear increase in proportion compared to recent years. This trend aligns with the government’s designation of strategic industries as future growth engines and is leading to a renewed focus on the role of KOSDAQ.

In particular, a large number of companies that have demonstrated a certain level of technological competitiveness, especially in the biotech sector, entered the market, while listings of semiconductor and AI-related companies also increased noticeably. As industry recovery and policy support are both anticipated, there is growing interest in whether KOSDAQ can establish itself as a mid- to long-term growth market, moving beyond short-term theme-driven trading.

Meanwhile, interest in stock-backed loans (stock loans) is steadily rising. Investors eager not to miss out on rare investment opportunities are turning to stock loans, which allow them to utilize more capital for stock purchases.

Another advantage of stock loans is that even if investors face a forced sale crisis due to a sharp drop in stock prices while using unsettled or margin accounts, they can easily switch to a stock loan without providing additional collateral or selling stocks, and wait for a rebound.
