Institutional investors led the KOSDAQ market during the week of August 17-21, 2026, with heavy buying in Silicon2 and HPSP, while offloading Robotis.
What Happened
Institutional Buying: During the week of August 17-21, 2026, institutional investors were net buyers of Silicon2 and HPSP, investing approximately 51.6 billion KRW and 43 billion KRW, respectively. Other stocks like EO Technics and Rainbow Robotics also saw significant institutional accumulation.
Institutional Selling: In contrast, institutions offloaded Robotis, recording a net sell of 42.9 billion KRW, making it the most sold stock by the group. SPG and Pearl Abyss also faced significant selling pressure from institutional accounts during the same period.
