[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] The preferred shares of Samsung Heavy Industries (Samsung Junggongwoo) have surged nearly eightfold throughout June.


As of 9:28 AM on the 15th, Samsung Junggongwoo shares were trading at 411,000 KRW, up 21.06% from the previous trading day. This represents a 654.13% increase from the closing price of 54,500 KRW on June 1.


While domestic shipbuilders have shown strong stock performance supported by large-scale order wins recently, the rise in Samsung Junggongwoo’s stock price has been so steep that it appears overheated.



The Korea Exchange designated Samsung Junggongwoo as an 'Investment Warning Stock' on the 9th due to the rapid short-term price surge and suspended trading for one day. Then, on the 12th, it was further designated as an 'Investment Risk Stock' and trading was again halted for one day.
