Hanwha Aerospace (KRX: 012450) hit ₩998,000, nearing the ₩1 million mark. Investors anticipate Korea’s “five emperor stocks” era amid a strong KOSPI performance.

On the 30th, the Korea Exchange reported Hanwha Aerospace closing at ₩998,000, a ₩45,000 (4.72%) increase, setting a new record high.

This year, the company's share price rose 210%, driven by increased global demand for defense systems. Korean defense exports grow, with Hanwha Aerospace benefiting significantly.

The stock temporarily reached ₩987,000 last month, suggesting it could be the next “emperor stock” after Samyang Foods (KRX: 003230). A short-term decline let Hyosung Heavy Industries (KRX: 298040) take the lead first.

August's renewed investor confidence boosted Hanwha Aerospace’s stock again. News of Vice Chairman Kim Dong-kwan's trip to Washington for defense negotiations stirred optimism, elevating the stock to new heights.
