The stocks most heavily net-bought by the top 1% of investors trading at Mirae Asset Securities (006800.KS) on Wednesday were Hybe (352820.KS), HL Mando (204320.KS), Samsung Electronics preferred shares (005935.KS), LS ELECTRIC (010120.KS), and Wonik IPS, in that order.
According to Mirae Asset Securities, the "stock masters," or the top 1% of investors by returns over the past month as of 11 a.m. that day, bought Hybe the most.
Hybe was trading at 195,500 won as of 11:33 a.m., up 0.21% from the previous session.
The buying interest is attributed to the global success of its girl groups. "ICONIC BY MISTAKE," a collaboration single featuring Le Sserafim, Illit, and Katseye, ranked 38th on the latest U.S. Billboard "Hot 100" chart released Tuesday U.S. time. This is the highest ranking among K-pop girl group songs to enter the Billboard Hot 100 this year.
The song continued its global success, ranking 22nd on the U.K. Official Singles Top 100, as well as 25th and 22nd on the Billboard Global 200 and Global 200 (excluding U.S.) charts, respectively.
Second in net buying was HL Mando. HL Mando was trading at 50,500 won at the same time, up 2.33% from the previous session.
The buying is analyzed as bargain hunting following the recent stock price correction. In particular, the securities industry has projected that HL Mando could emerge as a supplier of actuators, a key component of humanoid robots. Actuators are core components that move the arms, legs, and finger joints of robots.
Goldman Sachs, in a recent report, set HL Mando's target price at 109,000 won, saying, "Robot actuators have passed quality verification from global robotics companies," and "the company could demonstrate strengths if the humanoid market begins to grow in earnest."
Samsung Electronics preferred shares ranked third in net buying. Samsung Electronics preferred shares were trading at 207,000 won, up 2.22% that day. The buying interest in the preferred shares is attributed to Samsung Electronics, which plunged the previous day, showing a strong rebound in early trading.
In contrast, the top net-sold stocks were SK hynix (000660.KS), Samsung Electronics, SK Square (402340.KS), Samsung Electro-Mechanics (009150.KS), and LG Electronics (066570.KS). The previous day, the top stocks net-bought by the masters were SK hynix, Samsung Electronics, HD Hyundai Electric (267260.KS), Hyundai Motor (005380.KS), and Samsung Heavy Industries (010140.KS), in that order, while the top net-sold stocks were Samsung Electro-Mechanics, KB Financial (105560.KS), SK, Mirae Asset Securities, and SK Square.
