Peptron Plunges 29.94% to 111,600 KRW on CEO Statement Misinterpretation

Peptron-29.94%
According to Money Today, Peptron stock plummeted 29.94% to 111,600 KRW on July 10, hitting a 52-week low after hitting a peak of 392,500 KRW in November 2025. The selloff was triggered by CEO Choi Ho-il's comments on July 9 at a biotech forum stating that the joint research with U.S. pharma firm Eli Lilly does not include tirzepatide—the core ingredient in Lilly's diabetes and obesity treatments—sparking market concerns that development of the key project had been suspended. The company later clarified that the CEO's statement omitted information due to non-disclosure agreements, and that multiple follow-up substance collaborations with Lilly are proceeding normally according to the October 2024 contract.
