Breaking: Korean Robotics Stock Rally Surges As Neuromeca And Peers Lead Momentum

Seoul, Jan.14, 2026 — A wave of buying swept thru South Korea’s stock market today, driven by robotics and mobility-upstream components. Investors chased double‑digit intraday gains in several names tied to the Hyundai Motor Group ecosystem and the broader automation supply chain.

Neuromeca lead the pack with a 26.41% jump, placing its market value around KRW 532 billion. Yujin Robot followed closely, gaining 25.31% and anchored by a roughly KRW 519.8 billion market capitalization.

Other notable movers included NBR Motion, up 29.93% with a capitalization near KRW 186.4 billion, and Kooyoung Tech, advancing 23.76% on about KRW 75.5 billion in value. RS Automation rose 11.68% to roughly KRW 54.6 billion in market cap.

Mobase and Mobase Electronics also climbed, posting gains of 29.88% (Mobase,KRW 26.9 billion) and 29.87% (Mobase Electronics, KRW 13.6 billion) respectively,as sentiment swirled around core driving parts suppliers.

Ajin Xtech surged nearly 29.96% with an approximate market value of KRW 48.8 billion, while Power Logics advanced 29.84% for about KRW 26.4 billion in market value.

The day’s rally followed industry chatter that Hyundai Motor Group’s upcoming Mobed mobile robot platform would rely on a domestic supplier base for critical components such as motherboards and wiring. Analysts noted this alignment with Hyundai’s broader “Physical AI” strategy as a key driver of buying interest in the robot parts segment.

Ajin Xtech disclosed a capital move, announcing a free capital increase of 1 new share for each existing share. The move adds a layer of financial activity to a market already energized by robotics and automation themes.

RS Automation highlighted its overseas push, describing active expansion through the RS Systems subsidiary with operations in china and the United States. Industry insiders say the company’s dual focus on robotics and energy control technology positions it well for international opportunities.

mobase also underscored its leadership in supplying more than 500 core driving components to Hyundai Motor Group, with investors signaling that its role could expand into robotics and next‑generation mobility projects as Hyundai advances its “Physical AI” agenda.

Power Logics is targeting the global secondary battery market with EV and energy storage system packs, while its partners in the battery and camera module space saw intraday price momentum as core parts supply news circulated.
