JFROG LTD (ticker: FROG) closed at $42.27 on the Nasdaq on the 19th, down 2.74% from the previous day. Its market capitalization contracted to about $5.06 billion (roughly ₩6.8 trillion), wiping out approximately $135 million (around ₩180 billion) in a single session. Trading volume for the day totaled 9.33 million shares.

In February, the company’s board approved a share repurchase program of up to $300 million (about ₩400 billion), which helped fuel a sharp rally in early March when the stock briefly surged nearly 20%. More recently, JFrog has expanded partnerships targeting cloud and AI demand, notably through a strategic collaboration with AWS to support customers’ cloud migrations.

JFrog offers the JFrog Software Supply Chain Platform, which integrates software supply-chain management, security, DevOps and DevSecOps. It is best known for its artifact management tool Artifactory and its security-scanning solution Xray. Serving as critical infrastructure for large enterprise customers in hybrid and multi-cloud environments, JFrog has drawn Wall Street interest as a growth stock positioned at the intersection of AI model management and software security.
