On news that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang will visit Korea, domestic robotics stocks are surging early on the 1st.
As of 9:28 a.m., Doosan Robotics was trading at 134,100 won, up 27,600 won (25.92%) from the previous session on the Korea Exchange. At the same time, Doosan was also jumping 11.71%.
Robostar (30%), ROBOTIS (21.04%), Angel Robotics (18.73%), and Rainbow Robotics (14.53%) were also surging.
Investor sentiment appears to have been stoked by news that Huang will visit Korea for the first time in seven months. Huang is expected to visit Korea after wrapping up schedules at the information technology (IT) trade shows "Computex 2026" and "GTC Taipei 2026," which will be held in Taiwan from the 1st to the 4th.
In particular, as the possibility was raised that Huang's eldest daughter, Madison Huang, a senior director at Nvidia, will accompany the trip, expectations are growing for expanded cooperation in the physical AI field. Director Madison Huang is cited as a key figure leading the expansion of Robotics, Digital Twin, and physical AI businesses within Nvidia.
Earlier, Director Madison Huang visited Korea in Apr. and met with major domestic corporations including Samsung Electronics, SK hynix, Hyundai Motor, LG Electronics, and Doosan Robotics to discuss cooperation plans on physical AI. The market is watching the possibility that additional cooperation talks with domestic robotics corporations will take place during this visit as well.
