Hyundai Rotem's stock price is on the rise. This appears to be driven by expectations that defense stocks will continue to lead the market this year as the defense industry enters a long-term boom period.


As of 9:27 AM on the 4th, Hyundai Rotem's stock price recorded 85,700 won, up 9.59% compared to the previous trading day. Although it closed at 78,200 won on the 28th of last month, down 5.3% from the previous day, it seems to have recovered most of the losses.


Investor sentiment seems to have surged on expectations that defense stocks will continue to act as market leaders this year. Foreign investors already net purchased Hyundai Rotem shares worth 92.6 billion won last month. Choi Jeong-hwan, a researcher at LS Securities, analyzed, "Under the Donald Trump administration, unilateral foreign policies are expected to strengthen," adding, "The trend of increasing defense spending by countries worldwide will continue."



Additionally, news of a contract to supply double-decker electric trains worth 2.2027 trillion won from the Moroccan National Railways Office has also acted as a positive factor. This is the largest electric train supply contract ever based on a single project. Through this, Hyundai Rotem will enter the Moroccan market for the first time.
