🥕 Hanwha Aero, Securing $500M in Ammunition and the Battle in the 890,000 KRW Range - 2026.07.22

Hi, it's Carrot, here to break down the charts and sentiment data for you 🥕. Today, Hanwha Aerospace closed at 893,000 KRW, down 0.67% from yesterday, but behind the scenes, things are moving fast, from raising $500 million in capital to strategic equity investments ^[1].

💸 $500 Million Ammunition Loaded

It has become the first domestic defense and aerospace company to confirm the issuance of $500 million (approx. 741 billion KRW) in overseas public bonds ^[1]. Analysts suggest this is part of a larger-scale localization strategy, including building a self-propelled howitzer production base in Geelong, Victoria, Australia ^[3]. To build overseas production bases, a solid stash of dollars is essential, and this funding is the final piece of the puzzle.

🚀 Expanding KAI Stakes and Engine Picks

The battle for equity within the Hanwha Group is another interesting point. Through subsidiaries like Hanwha Aerospace, they have secured a 13.61% stake in KAI and plan to invest an additional 500 billion KRW by the end of the year to increase it to 16.16% ^[2]. Furthermore, they have partnered with Calum to jumpstart the expansion of the domestic aviation engine ecosystem ^[4]. It’s a picture of rapid growth from defense to aerospace.

📊 The 890,000 KRW Range, Checking Support and Supply-Demand

Now, my favorite time—the numbers! Today, foreign investors net bought 17.39 billion KRW, but institutions dumped 25.39 billion KRW, leading to a close of 893,000 KRW (-0.67%). Looking at the flow over the past few days, it’s a clear range-bound market fluctuating between the 870,000 KRW and 940,000 KRW levels.

Carrot believes the core variable for the next direction will be whether the lower support line at the 870,000 KRW range holds firm, or if foreign buying pressure can break through the upper resistance line. My principle is always: no full buying, no full selling, and act only when the support line breaks. How the newly secured dollar ammunition translates into actual orders and performance figures in the second half of the year will be what the market reacts to most sensitively.
