The stock has extended its rally on foreign buying and improving expectations for the semiconductor cycle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">Brokerages are also raising their earnings forecasts for Samsung Electronics one after another. Kiwoom Securities said in a report Tuesday that it had raised its target price for Samsung Electronics to 330,000 won from 260,000 won and maintained its &#8220;Top Pick&#8221; rating within the sector.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">&#8220;Samsung Electronics&#8217; operating profit could reach 100 trillion won in 2026,&#8221; said Park Yu-ak, analyst at Kiwoom Securities. &#8220;Price increases for commodity DRAM and NAND are exceeding market expectations, and narrower losses at the foundry and System LSI divisions will also contribute to earnings improvement.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">Hyundai Motor ranked second in net buying. At the same time, shares were up 2.28% at 627,000 won. &#8220;Annual humanoid sales will reach 1.5 million units by 2035, with market share of around 10%,&#8221; said Kim Gwi-jun, analyst at KB Securities. &#8220;The combination of the Georgia electric vehicle plant in the U.S. and Boston Dynamics&#8217; humanoid technology will be the key growth driver.&#8221; He added, &#8220;The combined market capitalization of Hyundai Motor, Kia, and Hyundai Mobis is only about one-fourth that of Tesla, making valuations attractive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">Third-ranked SK hynix was trading at 1.888 million won, up 11.98% from the previous session. The stock briefly topped the 1.9 million won mark in early trading. Analysts attribute the move to AI memory-related investment demand concentrating on SK hynix ahead of earnings announcements from major global partners.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">However, some analysts warned that labor costs and performance bonuses could emerge as new variables amid the robust memory market. &#8220;If competitors pay high-level performance bonuses, demands for additional compensation could also grow internally at SK hynix,&#8221; said Jung Woo-sung, analyst at LS Securities. &#8220;During periods of sharp memory price increases, a reassessment of the labor value of manufacturing and technical personnel is inevitable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">On the other hand, the top net-sold stocks on the day were SK Telecom (017670.KS), Hana Micron (067310.KQ), and Daejoo Electronic Materials (078600.KQ). On the previous trading day, November 8, the top net-bought stocks were Samsung Electronics, Hyundai Motor, and Alteogen (196170.KQ). L&amp;F (066970.KQ), Samyang Foods (003230.KS), and LX Semicon (108320.KQ) were among the top net-sold names.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">Mirae Asset Securities compiles trading data from the top 1% of its customers by returns over the past month and discloses the information on its mobile trading system (MTS) on a real-time, previous-day, and five-day basis.
