[Feature Stock] Hanmi Semiconductor surges after Chairman Kwak Dong-shin buys 3 billion won of company shares… Reaching 375k won during trading
Korea Semiconductor surged sharply due to news of the largest shareholder acquiring shares of the company.
According to the Korea Exchange on the 27th, Korea Semiconductor’s trading price during the afternoon session hovered around 375k won, up approximately 26% from the previous trading day. It briefly rose to 379.5k won during the session, showing strong performance.
The day’s stock price increase was interpreted as a direct positive factor from Chairman Koo Dong-shin’s purchase of the company’s shares. Korea Semiconductor disclosed via announcement that Chairman Koo bought 9,576 shares of the company through on-market purchases. The acquisition amount was about 3 billion won, with a purchase price of 315.41k won per share.
Through this purchase, Chairman Koo’s stake increased to 33.57%. The company explained that the purpose of this transaction was to enhance corporate value.
The market generally believes that the continued stock purchases by the largest shareholder express confidence in the company’s performance and growth potential. It is reported that Chairman Koo has been steadily buying the company’s shares since 2023, with a total acquisition scale of approximately 56.5 billion won.
Korea Semiconductor maintains a leading share in the global market for TC bonding machines used in HBM production. Currently, it is supporting the mass production supply of “TC Bonding Machine 4” for HBM4 and plans to launch a “wide-width TC bonding machine” that supports next-generation HBM production by the end of the year.
In addition, the company plans to launch a second-generation hybrid bonding machine prototype within the year to address the hybrid bonding market expected to be officially mass-produced and applied by 2029, and will start a hybrid bonding machine factory in the first half of next year. The sharp rise in stock price is interpreted as reflecting not only the buy signal from the largest shareholder but also the competitiveness of HBM equipment and expectations for new mid- to long-term businesses.
