[Market Focus] Hanwha Aerospace Soars for Second Day, Sets New All-Time High

Hanwha Aerospace surged for a second consecutive day, hitting an all-time intraday high.

As of 9:30 a.m. on January 9, Hanwha Aerospace was trading at 1,153,000 won on the Korea Exchange, up 63,000 won (5.78%) from the previous day. During intraday trading, it climbed as high as 1,175,000 won, setting a new record high.

Hanwha Aerospace has continued its strong performance since the beginning of the year, regaining its status as a "blue-chip stock." The share price has risen by more than 20% so far this year.

This is attributed to the strong performance of defense stocks since the start of the year, following remarks by President Donald Trump about increasing the defense budget. On the previous day, President Trump announced on Truth Social, "In these very chaotic and dangerous times, I have decided that for the national interest, the 2027 defense budget should be set at 1.5 trillion dollars (about 2,170 trillion won), not 1 trillion dollars."
