The Korea Exchange announced that it will designate Hanwha System, Hanwha Ocean, and Hanwha Solutions preferred stock, among seven stocks, as investment warning stocks on this day. Investment warning stocks are designated by the Market Surveillance Committee to prevent speculative or unfair trading.
Hanwha System and Hanwha Ocean are predicted to be designated as investment warning stocks due to a rapid increase in their stock prices over a short period. Investment warning stocks are designated when prices rise sharply in the short term. Once designated as investment warning stocks, margin trading is prohibited, and they are not recognized as substitute securities, leading to investment restrictions. If the stock price continues to rise, they may be designated as investment risk stocks.
