Shares of South Korea's LG Electronics surged to an all-time high on Monday after local media reports fueled speculation of a potential expansion of AI and robotics partnerships with Nvidia.
LG Electronics jumped as much as 30% to a record high of 380,500 won by 02:32 GMT. The stock had also jumped nearly 30% on Friday.
The rally followed reports that CEO Jensen Huang is expected to visit Seoul later this week after Nvidia's GTC Taipei event and meet several top business leaders, including LG Group Chairman Koo Kwang-mo.
Investors have increasingly bet that discussions could lead to deeper cooperation in so-called "physical AI" technologies, including robotics, smart factories, mobility and AI infrastructure.
The speculation comes weeks after LG Electronics said it was in talks with Nvidia on potential cooperation in robotics, AI data centers and mobility technologies.
South Korean media have also reported that Nvidia executives recently held discussions with LG on robotics-related initiatives, adding to expectations of a broader strategic partnership.
Nvidia has not announced any agreements, and Huang's South Korea trip has not yet been finalized.
