LG Electronics shares rose 8.68% to 219,000 Korean won on the KOSPI at 9:14 a.m. on the 7th as investors responded to the possibility of robot actuator orders from multiple global big tech companies. The actuator, a component that drives robotic movement, is emerging as a B2B growth area for the company, which is applying motor technology developed through its home-appliance business. LG Electronics plans to meet specific companies next month to assess its technological and production readiness. It launched the LG Actuator Axium brand earlier this year and is mass-producing initial volumes at its Changwon, Gyeongnam, factory. Actuators account for approximately 60% of a robot’s material costs, and LG Electronics aims to grow actuator sales to the scale of its existing external compressor supply business within one to two years.
