[E-Daily Reporter Kwon Oh Seok ] The stock prices of SamsungElectronics(005930)and SK hynix(000660)are both on the rise in premarket trading on the 27th. Following a rebound in the New York stock market overnight on news that U.S. artificial intelligence (AI) company Anthropic is moving forward with an initial public offering (IPO), buying interest is flowing into major domestic semiconductor stocks.

According to MP Doctor today, as of 8:12 a.m., SamsungElectronics is trading at 219,000 won, up 6,000 won (2.82%) from the previous trading day. At the same time, SK hynix is trading at 1,322,000 won, up 47,000 won (3.69%).
Earlier, Anthropic, the U.S.-based developer of the generative AI chatbot “Claude,” filed a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), marking the start of its full-scale IPO process. The proposed ticker symbol is “ANT,” and Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are serving as lead underwriters for the listing. The specific number of shares to be offered and the proposed price range will be determined at a later date.
Anthropic’s IPO filing has revived AI investment sentiment on Wall Street, which had recently been subdued. Semiconductor stocks rebounded across the board, driving up the three major U.S. stock indices. On the 26th (local time), the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index closed at 26,169.38, up 0.83% from the previous trading day. The S&P 500 Index rose 0.70% to 7,676.77, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.28% to 52,361.58. Both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq rebounded after posting weekly declines for two consecutive weeks.
The securities industry views this week’s earnings reports from major Big Tech companies and the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) interest rate decision as key turning points that will determine whether the rebound will continue.
