KOSPI and KOSDAQ Plunge Over 7% While Select Bio and Industrial Shares Defy Trend

Korean equities are experiencing a severe downturn at midday, with the benchmark KOSPI plummeting 9.73% to 6,098.39 and the tech-heavy KOSDAQ dropping 7.54% to 707.18. The Korean won has weakened significantly, trading at 1,459.60 against the USD. Despite the broader market panic, a few individual stocks are managing to post gains on specific earnings expectations and technical momentum.

Celltrion (068270) +0.39%

P/E	P/B	EPS	Mkt Cap	ROE	Debt Ratio	52W Range
42.28	2.4	4,238	₩41.7T	7.28%	29.99%	158,500–251,000

Celltrion (068270) edged up 0.39% at midday, showing resilience despite the broader KOSPI crash [1] [5]. The stock's gains are primarily driven by growing expectations for its second-quarter earnings, which are anticipated to reach record highs and deliver an earnings surprise [1] [3] [5]. Brokerages have subsequently raised their target prices for the pharmaceutical giant, fueled by optimistic growth prospects in the North American market [3] [4]. Furthermore, simultaneous net buying by both foreign and institutional investors during the session has provided strong support for the stock price [2].

However, the specific business developments, earnings, or contracts driving this recent rally remain unconfirmed from the available reports.
