On the 21st, SK Chemicals is showing strong performance.
As of 9:14 AM on the same day, SK Chemicals' stock price is trading at 79,500 KRW, up 22.50% compared to the previous trading day. This surge appears to be driven by investor interest following the announcement of a contract with multinational pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca for the contract manufacturing and supply of the diabetes combination drug 'Cidaphvia'.
Under this contract, SK Chemicals will manufacture and supply Cidaphvia on a contract basis until December 31, 2029.
In relation to this, SK Chemicals' preferred shares surged to the upper price limit early in the trading session.
