Container Stock Wan Hai Sees Surge Amid Transportation Demand, Weekly Volume Exceeds 200,000 Shares

[FTNN News Network] Reporter Hong Tsung-Chuan reports that Taiwan's stock market saw a drop of 133.74 points to 19,395.03 points last week (04/14–04/18) due to uncertainty in U.S. tariff policies, a decrease of 0.68%. However, influenced by the temporary 90-day deferment of U.S. tariffs, a short-term cargo pickup rush is expected across various industries. Wan Hai (2615), which has only 10% of its fleet made up of Chinese-built vessels, could benefit from multiple positive factors. On Friday, it increased by 4.92%, achieving a weekly rise of 12.58%, closing at NT$83.20. The average trading volume over the past five days was 41,429 shares, translating to a total exceeding 207,000 shares, compared to a monthly average of 17,870 shares, showing a weekly volume increase of 231.84%.
According to data from Mega International Commercial Bank, on the previous Friday, several listed stocks closed in the green, with trading volume increasing by over 200% compared to the monthly average, and four stocks had an average volume greater than 5,000 shares. Among them, Wan Hai (2615) ranked as the top performer with a price increase of 4.92% and an average trading volume of 41,429 shares, securing its position as the dual-increase champion of volume and price last week. Other notable stocks include KGI (5201), Dazhong (3147), and Maolun (6227).
