Hansung Clean Tech recorded a limit-up surge in early trading, driven by expectations of benefiting from the Honam semiconductor mega project.
According to the Korea Exchange, as of 10:10 a.m. on June 30, Hansung Clean Tech's shares rose by 571 won (29.83%) to 2,485 won compared to the previous trading day.
The recent stock price of Hansung Clean Tech has shown a rebound. After declining for four consecutive trading days from June 23 to June 26, dropping from 1,824 won to 1,599 won, the stock surged by 19.70% the previous day and is now hitting the limit-up mark.
The sharp increase in stock price is attributed to Hansung Clean Tech being highlighted as a beneficiary of the semiconductor mega project announced by the government the day before, attracting investor buying interest.
Hansung Clean Tech specializes in the design and construction of water treatment facilities, including the supply of ultra-pure water and industrial water necessary for electronic and semiconductor manufacturing processes, as well as wastewater treatment.
Market analysts believe that the expansion of semiconductor production facilities will increase demand for ultra-pure water supply and water treatment infrastructure. Hansung Clean Tech is currently participating in a 43.3 billion won project led by the Ministry of Climate, Energy, and Environment focused on developing next-generation ultra-pure water production and supply technologies.
From a financial perspective, the company reported consolidated revenues of 44.88 billion won and an operating loss of 548 million won for the first quarter of this year. In the same period last year, it recorded revenues of 46.94 billion won and an operating profit of 1.87 billion won. The net loss for the current period was 812.29 million won.
However, cash flow from operating activities improved to 1.53 billion won in the first quarter of this year, compared to a negative 6.66 billion won in the same period last year, and short-term borrowings decreased from 7.3 billion won at the end of last year to 4.5 billion won in the first quarter of this year.
