3. Past Price Movements

LIG Nex1 surged in 2023 on UAE export news but faced volatility from domestic profit dips and tariff fears. Export wins fuel a 2025 rebound. Here’s the 2025/06/17 snapshot:

• 2024 Low: 169,500 won (January, web:4).
• 2024 High: 270,000 won (April, estimated).
• 2025/06/17: 250,000 won, 5.5T won market cap, +10% in 1 month, 0.8M volume (web:4, estimated).
• 52-Week Range: 169,500~270,000 won, -7% from high, +47% from low (estimated).
• 7-Day Change: +3%, outperforming KOSPI (+1%) (estimated).

LIG Nex1’s 2025 export upside is promising, but tariff risks loom.

7. My Take

LIG Nex1’s Iraq Cheongung-II, Romania Shingung, Bigung U.S. test, and 19T won backlog offer strong growth potential. I predict a Q3 2025 price of 270,000 won, Q4 export upside driving a 6 ~ 6.5T won market cap and 290,000 ~ 300,000 won. Cheongung-II and space tech are key drivers.

U.S. tariffs and Middle East tensions are risks. Try a 300,000 won/month small investment and 2-3 year hold, monitoring LIG Nex1’s updates (lignex1.com) and X news. Can LIG Nex1 rule K-defense?
