[Featured Stock] Hunid Hits 52-Week High... Strong Amid Middle East Risk

Record High Since Last October
Iran's Retaliatory Attack Against Israel Imminent

Military communication equipment manufacturer Hunid recorded a 52-week high for the first time in about 10 months. This is interpreted as being influenced by the heightened geopolitical risks in the Middle East.

As of 10:54 a.m. on the 6th, Hunid is trading at 10,750 KRW, up 16.59% (1,530 KRW) from the previous day. During the session, it reached a high of 11,160 KRW. This surpasses the 52-week high of 10,050 KRW recorded on October 27 last year.

On the 4th (local time), the US Wall Street Journal (WSJ) and the Israeli daily Times of Israel reported that Iran refused the request to refrain from retaliatory attacks against Israel, which was requested by Arab countries. Iran pointed to Israel as the mastermind behind the assassination of Hamas leader Haniyeh and declared retaliation. As a result, geopolitical risks in the Middle East have flared up again.

Hunid operates defense businesses consisting of tactical communication and tactical systems, as well as overseas businesses such as exports and offset trade through strategic partnerships with global companies. Due to the nature of the military, the internet is not used, and a proprietary tactical network is employed; the main equipment for transmitting and receiving data in this network is Hunid’s high-capacity transmission device (HCTR). Last year, Hunid posted sales of 228.8 billion KRW and an operating profit of 17.4 billion KRW on a separate basis. Although a mid-sized company, it stands shoulder to shoulder with system integrators (finished product companies) in the communication equipment sector.
