[Market Focus] Vect Surges on Expectations of Gains from Unmanned Trend Expansion

Vect reached the upper price limit early in the trading session.

As of 9:04 a.m. on December 10, Vect surged by 29.83% (710 KRW) compared to the previous day, hitting the upper limit of 3,090 KRW.

Investor sentiment was boosted by analysis suggesting that Vect's earnings growth is expected due to expanding demand for its digital signage technology, which is utilized in smart cities and virtual reality (VR) content.

Vect specializes in digital signage, providing video planning and management solutions using projectors and electronic whiteboards. Recently, the company has been diversifying its product portfolio by launching new products that incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) services.

In the third quarter, Vect posted sales of 8.4 billion KRW, a 41% decrease year-on-year, and has continued to record operating losses since the first quarter. However, due to the nature of its business, sales tend to be concentrated in the first and fourth quarters, and global partnerships are expanding, leading to more optimism than concern. Previously, in October, Vect signed a digital signage supply contract with an infrastructure company in Singapore, and last month, it entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with a global robotics solutions company.

Seo Jibeom, a researcher at Shinhan Investment Corp., said, "Vect is expected to supply digital signage for smart campus and public infrastructure projects, particularly in Southeast Asian countries. Starting with Asian nations, the company is anticipated to expand its overseas business into the Middle East and European markets."
