Woofun AI reports that NH Investment & Securities projects the net profit of South Korea's semiconductor industry will reach 1,019 trillion won next year. The firm estimates profits will grow from 217 trillion won last year to 759 trillion won this year, representing a 34% growth rate for the following period. Director Kim Byung-yeon stated that current market declines are excessive and have already priced in geopolitical risks and supply-demand concerns. The institution sets the KOSPI lower range at 5,800 to 6,250 points, anticipating a rebound to the low-to-mid 7,000-point range driven by US tech company capital expenditure plans.
