Summary

In a panic-driven market, CEO Lee Kwon-hee explains how institutions and foreigners are accumulating shares while retail investors sell. He walks through sector-by-sector rebound scenarios, arguing that semiconductor memory, Hyundai Motor, power equipment, POSCO Holdings, semiconductor equipment/substrate, RFHIC, Samsung E&A, LG Energy Solution, and Isu Petasys are all oversold or undervalued and poised for recoveries.

  • Institutions are bottom-fishing and foreigners accumulate on retail panic; a short-term technical rebound is expected.
  • Memory semiconductors remain cyclical but supply is tight; Samsung Electronics and SK hynix trade at deeply undervalued levels and offer significant upside.
  • Hyundai Motor's robotics/AI theme is almost completely unpriced, and recent institutional buying suggests a bottom and a return above 400,000 KRW.
  • Power equipment stocks like Hyosung Heavy gave back all 2023 gains despite strong margins; the sell-off is sentiment-driven and a sharp rebound is likely.
  • POSCO Holdings can recover quickly with a secondary battery sector rebound if it clears 325,000 KRW resistance.
  • Semiconductor equipment and substrate names have been sold off to attractive valuations (sub-20x P/E) and represent a multi-year buying opportunity.
  • RFHIC and Isu Petasys are oversold with solid fundamentals; waiting for base formation offers lower-risk entry points.
  • Samsung E&A benefits from Samsung's capex cycle and trades at 9x forward P/E with institutional accumulation.
  • LG Energy Solution's Q2 profit turnaround and oversold condition argue against stop-loss selling, favouring patience.
  • Overall market uncertainty persists, but the speaker urges caution and a wait-for-trend approach until clearer signals emerge.
Ideas
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 3:16
Memory stocks extremely cheap, upside ahead.
Memory semiconductors are still a cyclical industry, but the cycle is stabilizing with structural supply shortages. Samsung Electronics and SK hynix trade at extremely low valuations (P/B well below historical norms, 12-month forward P/E around 3.6x for SK hynix) despite rising prices and long-term supply contracts. As the industry gradually moves away from extreme boom-bust cycles, even conservative P/B multiples would support significant upside for both stocks.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 7:14
Hyundai Motor undervalued, robotics value not priced.
Hyundai Motor has fallen to a P/B of 0.8x and a forward P/E of 10x after peaking at 15x, with the physical AI/robotics theme almost completely unpriced. Institutional and foreign flows have recently turned to net buying. Once market sentiment shifts, the stock is likely to find a bottom and rebound above 400,000 KRW, with further upside possible as robotics events (Atlas update, Samsung's RX division) could act as catalysts.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 9:30
Power equipment oversold, sharp rebound expected.
Hyosung Heavy Industries posted a 25% operating margin, well above the typical 10% for power equipment, yet the stock sold off because the market deemed it insufficient. The entire power equipment sector has given back this year's gains and returned to January price levels. Fundamentals remain strong (sales and profit growth), and the sell-off appears sentiment-driven, creating a setup for a sharp rebound.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 11:23
POSCO Holdings poised for technical recovery.
POSCO Holdings is dragged by weak secondary battery sentiment, but supply/demand posture is not bad and the secondary battery sector is poised to rebound once the broader market stabilizes. Technically, reclaiming the 325,000 KRW resistance would clear a small consolidation box and open a quick path to 360,000 KRW, with the 120-day moving average as a later target.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 15:42
Chip equipment/substrate dip is a buying opportunity.
Korean semiconductor equipment and substrate stocks (Wonik IPS, Eugene Technology, EO Technics, Daeduck Electronics, Simmtech) have been heavily sold off despite a secular decade-long capex upcycle. Valuations have compressed from 30x to below 20x P/E, and the sell-off is blamed on sentiment rather than fundamental demand destruction. The plunge creates a buying opportunity, especially given continued expansion plans and strong order momentum.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 17:07
RFHIC oversold, buy on base formation.
RFHIC's Q2 operating profit of 11.2 billion KRW was solid, and annual forecasts exceed 50 billion KRW. The stock has dropped back to pre-hype levels despite no fundamental disappointment. A base near 45,000 KRW on low volume would be a buying opportunity, and scaling in after a confirmed break of the 50,000 KRW level could lower average cost while positioning for a rebound.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 18:24
Samsung E&A cheap, institutional accumulation, rebound.
Samsung E&A benefits directly from Samsung Group's massive semiconductor capex as a main contractor, and also has exposure to Middle East projects. Earnings are strong and growing over 20% YoY, yet the stock trades at only 9x forward P/E, much cheaper than peers like Hyundai E&C at 15x. Institutions, particularly pension funds and insurers, are accumulating; technical support at 38,000 KRW has held multiple times, and a push above 40,000–48,000 KRW would restore an uptrend.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 24:07
Isu Petasys oversold, expansion supports growth.
Isu Petasys is planning additional capacity expansion, signaling that demand and profitability remain strong. The stock's P/E has collapsed from 40x to 14x, making it heavily oversold. Institutions have been buying throughout the decline, and net foreign buying of nearly 330,000 shares appeared recently. Once the stock stabilizes around 68,000–70,000 KRW, a stable uptrend can resume.
