Semiconductor equipment and materials stocks have fallen sharply, and foreign investors are actively buying them now because they expect a technical rebound as the memory cycle remains strong.

Korean semiconductor front-end equipment stocks have strong momentum from massive domestic cluster investments (Pyeongtaek P4/P5, Yongin, Honam mega-cluster) that are accelerating now due to long-term supply agreements securing demand visibility. Despite high valuations, the scale of investment—potentially hundreds of trillion won over a decade—means even a partial domestic equipment content represents trillions of won in orders. If the market stabilizes, these stocks could rally sharply. The speaker leans toward giving them a chance as a plus-alpha position alongside core memory holdings.

KOSDAQ semiconductor equipment companies are rising to top market-cap ranks on strong earnings, benefiting from AI capex cycle. ETF rebalancing and potential KOSDAQ premier league will attract institutional flows, making many names still undervalued.
