[NEWS ANALYSIS]
While Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Korea last October sent chipmakers soaring, news of his latest trip to Korea this week has sparked a rally in robotics-related stocks — shares of LG Electronics hit the daily trading limit for two consecutive sessions right after his visit was reported, while Doosan Robotics surged around 50 percent.
During the same period, Samsung Electronics gained 17 percent, while SK hynix rose just 4 percent.
Marking his second visit in just eight months, the rapid succession of trips reflects Huang’s determination to position the country as a critical pillar of Nvidia’s robotics ecosystem, rather than merely as a supplier of components.
