Samsung SDI is trading at â‚©556,000, down 6.08%, as foreign and institutional selling weighed on South Korean stocks.

  • On October 20, battery makers gave back some of their previous session’s gains; Aju Press reported Samsung SDI was among the decliners.
  • Monday’s optimism that U.S. restrictions could benefit Korean battery makers preceded the reversal.
  • Available reporting points to a broader Korean-market and battery-share pullback, not a new company-specific announcement explaining the drop.
