Hanwha Vision set a new all-time high. The news that Hanwha Semitec (formerly Hanwha Precision Machinery) signed a supply contract for semiconductor equipment for manufacturing High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) with SK hynix excited investor sentiment.
Hanwha Vision shares closed at 62,800 won in the KOSPI market on the 14th. The stock price jumped 12.75% (7,100 won) compared to the previous day. During trading, the stock price rose to 64,700 won, marking the highest price since Hanwha Aerospace was listed after its spin-off in September last year.
Hanwha Vision's stock price showed an upward trend from the start of the session that day. This was because rumors circulated that SK hynix and Hanwha Semitec had signed a supply contract for the core equipment for HBM manufacturing, the 'TC bonder.' Hanwha Semitec has been working hard to supply the TC bonder to SK hynix since last year.
The increase in stock price widened further in the afternoon. Hanwha Vision disclosed the supply contract before the regular trading session closed at 3:17 p.m. This is the first time Hanwha Semitec will actually supply the TC bonder for HBM to a client. The contract size is 21 billion won, and the contract period runs until July 1.
A representative from Hanwha Semitec noted, 'This achievement is just the first signal of market entry' and added, 'We will evolve into a global top-tier company with differentiated technology and quality.'
HANMI Semiconductor, which had been supplying TC bonders to SK hynix, showed weakness. HANMI Semiconductor shares closed at 87,800 won, down 3.52% (3,200 won) from the previous day.
