The Korean stock market is heavily concentrated in Samsung Electronics and SK hynix due to AI semiconductor demand. Hyper-scaler capex is surging well above expectations and is driven by US-China competition, ensuring continued investment. Semiconductor export data remains strong, supporting the thesis. Investors should allocate at least 30% of their portfolio to these two stocks.

Naver трансформируется из модели, ориентированной на B2C-рекламу, в поставщика B2B AI-инфраструктуры при поддержке партнерства с Nvidia, которая поставляет графические процессоры и предоставляет уникальный доступ к огромным массивам пользовательских данных в Корее. Исторический всплеск объема торгов по акциям сигнализирует о новом интересе рынка, а дорожная карта доходов от B2B AI — с прогнозом 0,85 трлн южнокорейских вон к 2027 году и ростом до 17 трлн южнокорейских вон к 2031 году — предлагает четкий катализатор для переоценки стоимости. Учитывая, что правительство и Nvidia уже подготовили почву, акции Naver сейчас находятся по привлекательной цене для начала формирования позиции, чтобы наблюдать за развитием перехода к AI, несмотря на сохраняющийся скептицизм.
