Power equipment cycle remains strong.
Power equipment makers are in an expansion phase with strong earnings, and grid construction takes 9-10 years, so the investment cycle remains attractive regardless of whether power comes from nuclear or renewables.

Buy power equipment on new orders.
Power equipment remains attractive: Hyosung Heavy's KRW 380bn contract may reopen the power sector contract cycle, and exporters benefit from the weaker won despite valuation burden.

Power contracts may restart sector rally
Power equipment stocks may rebound again as power-sector contracts restart, similar to semiconductor LTAs. Hyosung Heavy Industries' contract is a sign of renewed ordering, and although valuations are burdensome, export/FX conditions support the sector.

Korean power equipment upside is capped.
Korean transformer and power-equipment makers have capped upside because they must be valued against global peers, especially U.S. companies. Their current valuation is only slightly cheap versus those peers, and the speaker does not think they can decouple from global peer multiples despite a long order backlog; he advises monitoring global peers rather than expecting a standalone rally.

AI infrastructure gains on US stimulus.
US midterm-linked infrastructure stimulus and Korea-US negotiations over eight nuclear reactors are fueling AI infrastructure names. Power equipment, electric wires, optical communications and nuclear-related construction saw strong buying; power equipment has a double momentum from AI datacenter demand plus US infrastructure expansion, and he expects strength into September-October.

Four sectors where earnings and narrative align
Power equipment remains attractive despite looking expensive: the Trump administration's national power emergency bans imports of power-system equipment from sanctioned countries, and while China's share is small in the 154kV+ high-voltage segment, the move reinforces the existing tight supply/demand narrative. Fundamentals remain intact, with no change to the thesis, EPS growth continuing, capacity ramping well, and grid connection backlogs building. The shortage is more intense than the previous Trump-era case because grid wait volumes are far larger.

Balance AI and non-AI Korean sectors.
Investors should not chase only Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix in AI; balance AI exposure such as Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, semiconductor materials/parts/equipment, and power equipment against non-AI sectors like cosmetics, biotech, and secondary batteries, while keeping 20-40% cash to deploy on sharp dips.

Rotate to long-cycle bottleneck sectors
The AI bottleneck has shifted from GPUs to HBM and is now rotating into semiconductor equipment, power equipment, and data-center construction. Korea's 18.4GW data-center build is a 10-year cycle, power equipment is also a 10-year cycle, and money is rotating from the shorter semiconductor cycle into longer, more predictable bottleneck sectors; second-half positioning should be more distributed and diffused rather than concentrated in Samsung and SK hynix.

Massive electricity demand boosts Korean power sectors.
The Korean government's 12th Basic Plan for Electricity Supply and Demand raised the 2040 demand forecast by 41.7%, requiring massive capacity additions across nuclear, renewable, and gas power sources.

Favor oversold undervalued KOSPI core sectors.
In the KOSPI normalization phase, investors should focus on oversold and earnings-undervalued sectors. The core portfolio should be semiconductors, secondary batteries, autos, shipbuilding, and power equipment, with retail/distribution, defense, insurance, and securities as plus-alpha choices, and internet/pharma-bio as previously neglected but profitable areas.

Semis, equipment, power gear lead rebound
Historical rebounds after sharp drops are led by the previous leading sectors. This time, the clear leaders are semiconductors, semiconductor equipment/materials, and power equipment, which all surged over 20% today. For short-term gains on the rebound toward KOSPI 7,400, investors should focus on these sectors.

Rotate into beaten-down cyclical sectors.
Shipbuilding, defense, nuclear power, secondary batteries, and power equipment sectors have fallen significantly and are poised for a recovery as institutions rotate out of heavily held semiconductors into these beaten-down names to generate alpha. The rotation is reinforced by improving fundamentals and attractive valuations after deep corrections.

Power equipment strong, buy on dips.
Korean power equipment companies (LS Electric, Hyosung Heavy Industries, Hyundai Electric) benefit from US grid modernization, data center construction, and AI power demand. The sector has undergone a structural re-rating. Investors should buy on dips to the 10-day moving average.

Indiscriminately sold Korean growth sectors rebound
Recently strong Korean growth sectors such as semiconductor parts/equipment, autos, robotics, aerospace/aviation, and power equipment were sold indiscriminately during the KOSPI crash. Because many of those declines were not driven by company fundamentals, he expects the indiscriminately sold leaders to recover once the short-term supply-demand shock passes.

AI data centers lift power equipment
Power equipment remains attractive because AI data centers require large power infrastructure. Big Tech being separated into its own power bidding process means power producers, transmission operators, and equipment makers should continue to receive orders.

Korea wins from U.S. reshoring
U.S. policy aims to exclude China and revive manufacturing, but U.S. labor costs and skill shortages make robots and AI necessary; Korea is a key alternative supplier in shipbuilding, defense, nuclear, power equipment, and batteries, creating a strong multi-year opportunity.

Power infra first after pullback
After a market correction, prioritize power infrastructure, electric wires, and nuclear over semiconductors because AI's bottleneck is energy. Copper input costs can be passed through in power equipment and wires where demand is strong.

Korean exporters benefit from weak won
The Bank of Korea held rates at 2.5% because of high FX, inflation, and rising real estate, but weak won and tariff offsets are helping exporters. Autos, shipbuilding, power equipment, cosmetics, defense, nuclear, and bio are all showing strong exports even as domestic demand lags.

Korean power equipment enjoys export boom
Global demand for transformers, grid gear, and power equipment is tight because production capacity cannot easily expand. Korean suppliers are competitive on lead times and capacity, and the K-grid export strategy targets the profitable US market as China is increasingly excluded.
