AI-generated summary

TradingKey - During the Asian trading session on June 8, NVIDIA ( NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang told the media during a visit to the LG Twin Towers in Yeouido, Seoul, that NVIDIA is collaborating with LG Group to jointly advance developments in humanoid robotics, data centers, and the automotive sector.

LG Group operates a diversified portfolio across electronics, chemicals, and telecommunications, and has accumulated industrial expertise in AI infrastructure, smart homes, and automotive components.

Regarding humanoid robotics, LG Electronics has developed its own physical AI model based on NVIDIA's Isaac GR00T foundation and is utilizing NVIDIA's robotics platforms to drive intelligent robot verification projects. At CES in January 2026, LG Electronics showcased 'LG CLOi,' a home robot powered by the NVIDIA Jetson Thor platform, and plans to establish a mass production system for actuators—core components of robotic joints—within this year.

Data center collaboration encompasses AI computing infrastructure and cooling solutions. LG Group recently announced plans to procure 10,000 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, the largest single purchase of NVIDIA GPUs in its history, with a total investment reaching trillions of won to drive its AI transformation.

LG Electronics shares plunged more than 14% at the open, as partnership news helped stem the decline.

Dragged down by a plunge of more than 10% in the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index last Friday and intensifying fears of interest rate hikes, the KOSPI index tumbled over 8% in early trading, triggering a Level 1 circuit breaker. LG Electronics saw an intraday decline of more than 14% on Monday, falling for the third consecutive trading session.

As news of the partnership between Nvidia and LG gained traction, the stock rebounded from its lows, briefly recovering to near 290,000 KRW before noon, with the decline narrowing to about 6%. As of press time, it was down approximately 8%, trading at 278,000 KRW. The positive development of the collaboration significantly offset the panic selling from the morning session.

LG Electronics' shares have surged more than 200% year-to-date, resulting in substantial short-term valuation pressure. Coupled with a systemic sell-off in global tech stocks, the decline could have deepened further without the support of the partnership news.
