Investment decisions are your own responsibility. This material is research and is not a recommendation to buy or sell.

0. Bottom line first

Glass substrate names may face sell-on-news pressure when major headlines appear. Still, if actual mass-produced products begin to come out, this is likely to become a meaningfully larger market.

1. News point

Official fact: The source shared a Seoul Economic Daily article, “Could SKC glass substrates be supplied to Nvidia? Chey Tae-won’s meaningful smile [CES 2025].” The article summary says SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won hinted at possible Nvidia-bound supply of SKC glass substrates at CES 2025, and that SK displayed actual glass substrate products at CES.

2. My read

Interpretation: I also hold one glass-substrate-related company. When strong related news appears, I worry about sell-on-news pressure in the stock price. But the core of the idea is not the reaction on the news day; it is the size of the market that may open once real mass-produced products begin shipping.

Short term

Sell-on risk

When strong expectations are confirmed by news, selling pressure can appear in the share price.

Medium term

Mass-product proof

The core is whether actual mass-produced products, customer adoption, and supply scale follow.

Glass substrates are still in a phase where expectations and verification coexist. Rather than reaching a conclusion from one article, I would watch whether actual customer adoption, mass-production timing, yield, and supply scale follow after the physical product display.
