This is the first time in about a month since August 22 that Samhwa Electric's stock price has surpassed 50,000 KRW. The stock has recorded a rise of over 300% this year, ranking first in the KOSPI market's growth rate. After reaching a peak of 89,900 KRW on June 8, it has been on a downward trend, recently fluctuating between 40,000 and 50,000 KRW.
Samhwa Electric is a company that produces a single product: electrolytic capacitors. Electrolytic capacitors use electrolytes as the dielectric and the market is divided into high-end (semiconductors, automobiles, renewable energy, etc.) and low-end (TVs, home appliances, etc.) segments. Recently, it has gained attention due to the explosive demand from AI data centers.
The S-CAP (a type of electrolytic capacitor) for data centers is replacing Panasonic Japan's tantalum capacitors and is being installed in SSDs. Discussions are underway with some customers about products that can be equipped with up to nine units.
