[Edaily Reporter Kwon Oh Seok ] Hantop Inc.(002680)’s stock price has hit the daily upper limit for two consecutive trading days. It appears that buying interest is surging following news that the largest shareholder plans to purchase 2 million common shares on the open market to enhance shareholder value and corporate value.

According to MP Doctor on the 12th, as of 9:10 a.m., Hantop Inc. is trading at 2,795 won—the daily price limit—up 30.00% from the previous trading day. The stock also closed at the daily price limit the previous day, up 29.99%.
Previously, the company announced in a regulatory filing the day before, “From September 11 (based on the settlement date) through October 10—a period of 30 days—we will purchase 2 million common shares for approximately 3.3 billion won through on-market purchases.”
The purchase price was calculated based on the closing price of 1,654 won on August 10, the day before the announcement, and the actual trading volume and price may vary depending on future stock price fluctuations.
Through continuous efforts to improve its business structure and reduce costs, Hantop Inc. has maintained operating profits for four consecutive years from 2022 to 2025, and in 2025, it returned to profitability in net income as well. In addition to this trend of improved performance, the company is also reviewing ways to utilize tangible assets—such as investment real estate and its headquarters site—in addition to its cash and cash equivalents.
A Hantop Inc. official stated, “We believe the recent stock price has fallen excessively relative to the company’s intrinsic value, so the largest shareholder has submitted a plan to trade specific securities via on-market purchases to enhance shareholder value and corporate value.” The official added, “We are also reviewing additional measures to boost shareholder value and corporate value, and we plan to disclose them as soon as they are finalized.”
