[Feature Stock] Almex Surges 17% on Expectations of Expanding Presence in Aerospace Sector

Almex is showing strong gains in early trading.

As of 9:20 a.m. on January 7, Almex was trading at 24,150 won, up 17.80% (3,650 won) from the previous day.

Investor sentiment appears to have been boosted by expectations that the company will achieve visible results in the aerospace sector this year, leveraging its aluminum technology accumulated over more than 50 years.

Aluminum is considered a key material in the aerospace field, alongside carbon fiber composites and titanium alloys, as it is used in a variety of critical components such as propulsion systems for satellites and launch vehicles, fuel tanks, and rocket engine parts. As a result, Almex, a company specializing in aluminum extrusion, is drawing increased attention. As of the end of the third quarter of 2025, the company holds an order backlog of approximately 1.1 trillion won, and it is expected to turn a profit in 2025.

Kang Kyungkeun, a researcher at NH Investment & Securities, commented on Almex, stating, "The company possesses world-class aluminum core technologies such as 'crash alloys' (which maintain high strength while absorbing impact energy through high ductility) and high-ductility extrusion alloys. Currently, sample testing is underway with key clients in the aerospace sector, and meaningful results are expected within the first half of the year."
