Buy semis, equipment, power on dips.
Current-value sectors with strong earnings momentum — semiconductors, semiconductor equipment, and power equipment/machinery — are the core holdings. Accumulate them on dips during the summer when broad momentum is absent, as earnings will provide a floor and drive further upside.

Buy power/thermal infrastructure names (VRT, ETN, HUBB, POWL) as the AI factory model — driven by agentic AI's higher CPU ratios and more complex rack architectures — increases demand for power distribution, switchgear, and thermal management in real data center buildings.

Invest in AI capex cycle leaders.
The current bull market is defined by the 'era-defining spirit' of the AI Capex cycle, similar to the BRICs capex cycle of the 2000s. The key commodity is no longer iron ore, but semiconductor chips. As long as this overarching theme remains intact, which it does, any corrections are opportunities. The market leadership is consolidating into the core beneficiaries of this theme: Semiconductors, Power Equipment, and Robotics/Physical AI. These sectors should be the focus for investors.

Power equipment structural bull
Power equipment is a structural long due to AI data center power demand, global supply constraints (only four countries can make transformers), and huge order backlogs totaling 32.6 trillion won for the top three players. Korea's ability to meet delivery timelines is a unique advantage. Multi-year growth cycle intact; do not sell.
