As of 11 a.m. that day, Hyundai Motor traded at 634,000 won, down 9.43% from the previous session.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">After the KOSPI plunged more than 8% in early trading and slid to the 7,600 level, shaking the broader domestic stock market, the top 1% investors were seen as having treated Hyundai Motor as a bargain-buying opportunity. In particular, news of a meeting between Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Hyundai Motor Group Chairman Euisun Chung stimulated investor sentiment. Huang visited Hyundai Motor Group headquarters in Yangjae-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul, that day to meet with Chung. The two sat down again just a day after sharing lunch at Woo Lae Oak in Euljiro, Seoul, the previous day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">The two are expected to discuss cooperation on &#8220;physical AI,&#8221; which applies artificial intelligence to actual industrial sites such as autonomous driving, robotics, and smart factories. This is analyzed as reflecting expectations that Hyundai Motor could be re-evaluated as a platform company that implements AI and robot technology at actual industrial sites, beyond being an automaker.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">The second-most net bought stock was SK hynix. SK hynix traded at 1.997 million won at the same time, down 3.53% from the previous session. While profit-taking across semiconductor stocks and the sharp market drop overlapped after the share price rose to around 2 million won, the stock masters were seen as viewing the correction as a buying opportunity. NH Investment &amp; Securities raised its target price for SK hynix that day to 3.5 million won from 2.5 million won. The firm&#8217;s analysis was that an edge in high-bandwidth memory (HBM) supply and rising memory prices would lift its earnings outlook.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">In third place was Samsung Electronics. Samsung Electronics traded at 307,000 won, down 6.69%. Even amid the plunge, the stock masters bought both Samsung Electronics and SK hynix, continuing their buying stance toward semiconductor leaders. NH Investment &amp; Securities presented a target price of 390,000 won for Samsung Electronics that day. The point that demand for general-purpose DRAM and NAND could rise together amid the spread of agentic AI was cited as an investment point.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">Other stocks ranking high in net buying included Samsung Electronics preferred shares (005935), Hanmi Semiconductor (042700), Celltrion (068270), NAVER (035420), and Leeno Industrial (058470). Samsung Electronics preferred shares fell 5.31%, Hanmi Semiconductor 8.13%, and Celltrion 6.53%. Amid the broad market plunge, bargain buying flowed in centered on existing leading and growth stocks such as semiconductors, bio, and internet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">By contrast, the most net sold stock was SK Telecom (017670). SK Telecom traded at 113,300 won at the same time, up 6.48%. As buying had recently concentrated on expectations of cooperation with Nvidia, some profit-taking was seen to have emerged. SK Telecom announced a partnership based on Nvidia&#8217;s &#8220;DSX platform&#8221; that day. Its plan is to enter the full-stack AI cloud business spanning from semiconductor chips to data center operations and build Asia&#8217;s largest AI infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">Other top net sold stocks that day included Wonik IPS (240810), Hanwha Systems, Hyundai Mobis (012330), and LG Innotek (011070). The previous session&#8217;s top net bought stocks were SK hynix, NAVER, and Samsung Electronics, in that order. The top net sold stocks were Samsung SDI (006400), Samsung Electro-Mechanics (009150), and POSCO Holdings (005490), in that order.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">Mirae Asset Securities tallies the trading of investors ranking in the top 1% for returns over the past month among its clients and discloses it on its mobile trading system (MTS) on a real-time, previous-day, and recent five-day basis.
