LG Electronics is also at 250,500 won, up 15.44% (33,500 won) from the day before. LG preferred and LG Electronics preferred are also rising.

With expectations piling up for the new robotics business pushed by LG Electronics, buying appears to be spreading to holding company LG and other group stocks.

Earlier, the securities industry expressed expectations for the new Robotics business LG Electronics is pursuing.

Kim Min-gyeong, an analyst at Hana Securities, said, "LG Electronics said at its March shareholders meeting that it would establish a mass-production system for actuators for Humanoid Robot within the year and announced a plan to conduct a proof-of-concept (PoC) demonstration project for the home robot CLOi in 2027," and added, "Given that the demonstration project was moved up to the first half of this year, LG Electronics is presumed to be actively accelerating its robot business."
