The stocks most heavily net-bought by high-return investors trading at Mirae Asset Securities on the morning of the 7th were Samsung Electro-Mechanics, OE Solutions, and Hyundai Motor 2nd Preferred (Type B), in that order. The most heavily net-sold stock was SK hynix (000660.KS).

According to Mirae Asset Securities, the stock most heavily bought by "super traders" — the top 1% by investment returns over the past month among the brokerage's stock trading clients — by 11 a.m. that morning was Samsung Electro-Mechanics (009150.KS). The stock rose 1.46% intraday, holding a firm gain, as super traders concentrated their buying.

OE Solutions (138080.KQ) ranked second in net buying. The company, which specializes in telecommunications equipment such as optical transceivers, surged 14.29% intraday to trade at 25,600 won, showing strong upward momentum that drew a large inflow of funds from super traders. Third was Hyundai Motor 2nd Preferred (Type B), which attracted bargain buying as it fell 2.27%. Also among the top net buys were OCI Holdings, LIG Defense & Aerospace, LG Energy Solution (373220.KS), Simmtech, and Naver (035420.KS).

The stock super traders sold most that day was SK hynix. After falling 3.95% the previous day, SK hynix dropped another 4.48% to trade at 1.428 million won. As the stock weakened, super traders were seen reducing their positions to cut losses and manage risk. SK hynix had also ranked second in net selling the previous day, continuing a recent trend of net selling by top traders.

Second in net selling was Samsung SDI (006400.KS). Having topped super traders' net buying the previous day, Samsung SDI drew profit-taking just one day later as its share price rose 4.22%. Third in net selling was Samsung Electronics (005930.KS) (0.65%), reflecting continued caution among top traders toward large-cap semiconductor stocks. Also among the top net sells were Kolmar Korea, Hyosung Heavy Industries, Samsung Electronics Preferred, KC Tech, and L&F.

The previous day, super traders bought the most Samsung SDI, followed by Samsung Electro-Mechanics (second), InBody (third), and Simmtech (fourth). By contrast, large-caps that had ranked among the top net sells the previous day, such as Hyundai Motor 2nd Preferred (Type B) (fourth) and POSCO Holdings (005490.KS) (seventh), moved past their wait-and-see stance to rank among the top net buys that day.
