### PDMC (Photronics·DNP 포토마스크 합작, DNP 49.99%) (high)
- note: DNP runs the PDMC joint venture (and Xiamen PDMCX) with Photronics, the largest merchant photomask maker — two apparent rivals that actually pool capital to share foundry-facing mask capacity. It gives DNP access to US/Taiwan/China customers and gives Photronics DNP's leading-edge process — a mutual lever.

### AustriaCard Holdings (공개매수) (mid)
- note: Launched a 2026 tender offer for European smart-card/secure-ID firm AustriaCard — M&A that extends the Smart Communication (authentication/security) axis into Europe beyond mature printing. Part of a capital-efficiency shift under Elliott pressure, redeploying cash raised from selling cross-shareholdings into growth and returns.

### 원재료 (알루미늄박·인바 합금·수지필름) (mid)
- note: Procures aluminum foil and nylon/PP resins for battery pouch, Invar (nickel-iron) alloy for FMM, and base films for optical films. As FY2026 showed — Electronics profit swinging on FX and cost — these input-cost moves amplify the earnings amplitude of the high-margin segment.

### 마스크 블랭크 (호야·AGC) (mid)  → /hoya.md
- note: Sources blanks — the starting material for every photomask — from the Hoya (EUV 75%+)/AGC duopoly. However dominant DNP is in masks, the upstream material sits in others' hands, so scaling leading-edge masks deepens its structural dependence on Hoya/AGC.
