Overweight tech, underweight defense sectors.
The market is shifting from a cash-return regime to a reinvestment regime, and capex intensity is rising, but earnings growth is strong enough to support it. The market is rewarding this capex cycle. We are overweight all tech-related and AI buildout sectors and underweight defense sectors, given the strong demand backdrop and the view that political risks are further out.

Defense production must triple.

Trim shipbuilding, defense, nuclear, batteries.

Defense demand rising, Korean exports strong.
Defense sector is attractive due to rising global conflicts and strong demand for Korean weapons systems: KF-21, K2 tank, K9 howitzer, Cheongung missile. KAI and Hyundai Rotem are key.

Avoid defense fad, temporary hype

Defense spending tailwinds from US and Europe.
US defense spending will increase significantly from the current ~3% of GDP to at least 4.5% due to geopolitical tensions, Trump's proposed 50% budget increase, and Europe's need to ramp up its own defense investments. This will create strong tailwinds for defense companies, especially those involved in munitions and smaller weapons systems, driving spending for the next decade.
