On the 13th morning, shares of PIM KOREA, a manufacturer of ultra-precision metal components, are up more than 6%. Buying appears to be driven by a securities firm's view that growth is expected in Humanoid Robot-related businesses.
As of 9:19 a.m. on the 13th, PIM KOREA is trading on the KOSDAQ market at 77,300 won, up 4,800 won (6.62%) from the previous session. Early in the session, the share price jumped to as high as 86,400 won, up more than 10%, setting a 1-year high.
Kang Kyung-geun, an analyst at NH Investment & Securities, said, "PIM KOREA is expanding its business scope to materials for logistics robots and Humanoid Robot reducer components," and noted, "It is co-developing gears for reducers applied to next-generation mobility robots with a domestic automaker, and for two items currently undergoing prototype testing, mass production is expected to begin this year."
He added, "Discussions are underway with a global Humanoid Robot company to supply a total of about 10 components, including brackets, which are reducer parts," and said, "With per-unit supply at about 3.5 million won, assuming the client's plan to mass-produce 30,000 units annually in 2028 and a 50% market share, related sales could exceed 50 billion won."
