Quantum computer-related stocks are showing strength in early trading on the 6th. Analysts suggest that there is a surge in buying interest in new technologies, with the 'institutional sector' of 'quantum computing' being newly established at the world's largest IT and electronics exhibition, Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025, starting on the 7th in Las Vegas.
As of 10:44 a.m. on this day, iWIN PLUS, a listed company on the Korea Securities Dealers Automated Quotations, is trading at 1,940 won, up 29.94% (447 won) from the previous trading day.
At the same time, other quantum computer-related stocks, including ATON, OURI NET, SECUCEN, KOWIBER, and SOLID, are also showing strength.
The simultaneous rise of quantum computer-related stocks on this day seems to be influenced by CES. The 'institutional sector' of quantum computing was newly established at CES starting this year. CES 2025 will open on the 7th (local time) and will be held for four days.
Quantum computers are ultra-fast, high-capacity computing technologies that utilize quantum mechanical phenomena to perform multiple calculations simultaneously. They have a computing power 30 trillion times faster than conventional computers. Recently, quantum computers have gained attention as they can handle vast amounts of calculations, especially as the artificial intelligence (AI) market grows. The United Nations (UN) has designated 2025 as the 'Year of Global Quantum Technology.'
Kim Rok-ho, a researcher at Hana Securities, noted, 'Since quantum computers have been selected as a new theme, we need to pay attention to the short-term stock movements of related companies domestically and internationally.'
