Hyein's shares soared to the daily limit on expectations of benefiting from the expansion of the artificial intelligence (AI) data center market.
According to the Korea Exchange, as of 10:31 a.m., Hyein's stock was trading at 5,910 won, up 1,360 won (29.89%) from the previous trading day.
Market analysts are focusing on Hyein's role as the official dealer for global construction and mining equipment company Caterpillar in South Korea. Hyein primarily engages in the supply of generators and engines, as well as maintenance services, and is expanding its presence in the emergency generator market for data centers.
With the rapid growth of the AI industry, competition to build large-scale data centers is intensifying. As reliable power supply is essential for data centers, the importance of emergency generators is increasing, drawing investor interest toward companies supplying related equipment.
Hyein has participated in major domestic data center projects, reportedly supplying Caterpillar emergency generators to data centers for Samsung Electronics and Kakao, and is also expanding its involvement in overseas data center projects.
Additionally, Hyein supplies engines for high-speed vessels and large transport ships in the defense sector. Industry experts believe that the growth in AI infrastructure investment and the defense business is enhancing expectations for Hyein's performance.
