K-defense
−17.96%방위산업
K-defense is a Korean stock-market theme covering companies that build military hardware and systems, such as aircraft, armored vehicles, naval vessels, artillery, and munitions, along with firms that supply components and export weapons to foreign governments. Korean investors group these companies together because they share exposure to government defense budgets, long-term export contracts, and international arms demand, and because the sector has drawn attention when global security tensions and large foreign orders have risen.
